I opened Evolution today and a red banner appeared on top with the following message:

> Failed to connect address book “<email address hidden> : Contacts”

I found the upstream bug report for this[0], which references the commit[1] that fixes it.
However, that commit is in release 3.42.0, whereas Ubuntu 21.10 currently has 3.40.4-1. Is it possible to backport this commit so that Evolution will continue to work properly?
