Attempt to look at contacts 2. 3. Actual Results: Sometimes I get an error indicating a permission problem, but all directories and files are accessable. Expected Results: See contacts in Address Book. How often does this happen? Randomly, but more and more often. Additional Information: --- Output when running evolution from the command line --- CalDAV Eplugin starting up ... (evolution-2.6:7434): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with NULL parameter. libnm_glib_nm_state_cb: dbus returned an error.

hmm... what exactly does that "error indicating a permission problem" say? can you start evolution-data-server seperately and post the output here?
I have exactly the same error on Gentoo since a few weeks : ** (evolution:10913): WARNING **: bbdb: failed to open addressbook: EBookStatus returned 20 I don't know what is the EBookStatus of 20. The message about file permissions asks me to check them, but they are good : drwxr-xr-x 10 nwrk users 4096 jan 8 23:34 .evolution/ drwxr-xr-x 4 nwrk users 4096 jan 7 19:50 .evolution/addressbook/ drwxr-x--- 18 nwrk users 4096 jan 7 19:50 .evolution/addressbook/local/ drwxr-x--- 2 nwrk users 4096 déc 2 07:36 .evolution/addressbook/local/system/ File on .evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db returns : Berkeley DB (Hash, version 9, native byte-order) I thought it could be linked to a change in my Berkley DB version so I removed the "addressbook/local" folder, launched Evo and had the same error. Evo creates the local/system folder; I tried to create another addressbook, same error, with the folder created (ie "1199796188.801.0@nwrk"). These folders are created empty. Also, I can't remove these addressbooks, without much information (translate approx. to "unable to remove the addressbook").
Dear reporter, is this still an issue for you? Please reopen, if so.
It is no more an issue. It seemed to be a problem with Berkley DB (maybe an update). Thanks for your support!
