Greetings,
I first posted this item on users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, but as yet have
not received a reply.
To add to what's written below, I've been using syncevolution with several
cloud services, including Funambol/Onemediahub, Everdroid, and Memotoo,
having the most success with the last one.
Yesterday, after trying to import Palm Centro-produced Notes into
Evolution, and then doing trying to do a sync w/ MemoToo, the
Contacts/Addressbook sync portion failed, while the Calendar portion
continued to function.
More below.
So, my interest is in restoring the sync capabilities w/ the Addressbook.
Much thanks.

Subject: Syncevolution: will not sync local contact data with could
Greetings,
I've been using a Memotoo, a cloud-based service, for syncing data between my
desktop and devices.
However, while using syncevolution's gui I get the following message:
There is problem w/ the local database; syncing again or rebooting may help
Syncing again doesn't help; rebooting (the machine?) doesn't either (is there
something else - evolution-data-server? - that can be rebooted).
Digging deeper there is the following message:
[2013-01-27 20:35:40.237] error code from SyncEvolution fatal error (local,
status 10500): addressbook: reading all items: Cannot get contact list: Contact
not found
So, it seems that some sort of index or file has been corrupted. Is there a way
of rebuilding it?
Currently, I have no problems working w/ my contacts/addressbook in Evolution
itself.
I also have no problem syncing my calendar to Memotoo.
Much thanks in advance for all advice and suggestions,

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).
The command will show you the default database for Evolution contacts.
Verify that it picks the right database, presumably the local system
address book.

Then you can save all your contacts in Evolution as .vcf file, delete
the contacts, import again and sync. 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).
But only do that after verifying that SyncEvolution really uses the same
address book as Evolution...

"syncevolution --print-databases" (in recent releases, drop the

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)

Birthdays & Anniversaries (contacts:///)
Evolution Task List = Evolution Tasks = evolution-tasks:

Evolution Memos = evolution-memos:

Looking for the physical location of related files, I see:

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

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

Much thanks for all of your help; and apologies for doign this overly
asynchronously.

Hopefully this is correct; I'm not familiar (as yet) with understanding
all of the different configuration parameters expressed in this sort of

That's as it should be.

That's a bug in Evolution. Which version are you using?

You'll have to use the "killall" command, like this:
killall -9 evolution-addressbook-factory
Make sure that Evolution is not running while you do this.
If importing via Evolution after killing the process and deleting the
files fails, then you can try another way of importing the file. Kill
+remove as before, but then run:
syncevolution --import <your file>.vcf @default addressbook

Another relief. Evolution version:
evolution-3.4.4-2 on Fedora 17
I'm running it on laptop and a desktop.

Everything worked; I tried both of your recommended methods (1-via
evolution; 2-via syncevolution).
Much thanks for all of the help and quick replies. I have more questions,
but I'll put them under a separate thread.
