Can you check which database SyncEvolution is trying to use here? I
assume you haven't configured that manually for "addressbook", so use
"syncevolution --print-databases" (in recent releases, drop the
parameter if your version is older).
Hopefully this is correct; I'm not familiar (as yet) with understanding
all of the different configuration parameters expressed in this sort of
output. Using the command, the output is:
CalDAV:
select database via absolute URL, set username/password to scan, set
syncURL to base URL if server does not support auto-discovery (<path>)
CalDAVTodo:
select database via absolute URL, set username/password to scan, set
syncURL to base URL if server does not support auto-discovery (<path>)
CalDAVJournal:
select database via absolute URL, set username/password to scan, set
syncURL to base URL if server does not support auto-discovery (<path>)
CardDAV:
select database via absolute URL, set username/password to scan, set
syncURL to base URL if server does not support auto-discovery (<path>)
Evolution Address Book = Evolution Contacts = evolution-contacts:
Personal (local:system) <default>
Verisign (ldap://directory.verisign.com:389/??one)
Evolution Calendar = evolution-calendar:
Personal (local:system) <default>
Birthdays & Anniversaries (contacts:///)
Evolution Task List = Evolution Tasks = evolution-tasks:
Personal (local:system) <default>
Evolution Memos = evolution-memos:
Personal (local:system) <default>
Looking for the physical location of related files, I see:
pyz@brill ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system> ls -al

The command will show you the default database for Evolution
contacts.
Verify that it picks the right database, presumably the local system
address book.
I seems that the two are aligned.

Then you can save all your contacts in Evolution as .vcf file, delete
I've done that, and the output looks correct.
the contacts, import again and sync.
I deleted the contacts and tried importing the *.vcf file.
However, that doesn't work, and evolution just seems to hang.
If that doesn't help, then shut
down Evolution and e[volution]-addressbook-factory and remove all files
inside the directory of the address book (shown when listing databases,
or found via the UUID inside ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook when
using a recent EDS).
I see that evolution-addressbook-factory is running
pyz@brill ~/projects/Evolution> ps waux | grep evo
pyz 1410 0.0 0.1 542704 10952 ? Sl 07:09 0:00
/usr/libexec/evolution/3.4/evolution-alarm-notify

pyz 1599 0.0 0.1 1232276 11720 ? Sl 07:09 0:01
/usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory
but I don't know how to elegantly shutdown evolution-addressbook-factory
Is there a way?
But only do that after verifying that SyncEvolution really uses the
same
address book as Evolution...
Much thanks for all of your help; and apologies for doign this overly
asynchronously.
