Description Daniel Collins 2002-11-01 19:45:28 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem:
Customer wants to import a vCard (.vcf) and receives an error stating
"there was an error importing <name of contact>.vcf"
I checked the file and the only difference between this and other vCards
I've seen is the version #.  This card is version 3.0. I tried importing
into Evolution (1.0.8 and 1.1) and it doesn't work.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Evolution
2. Go to File-->Import-->Import Single File-->Import vCard-->Choose the
attached vCard and try to import it

Actual Results:
Won't import the vCard

Expected Results:
vCard should appear as a new entry in the Contacts section.

How often does this happen? 
All the time

Additional Information:

vcards with version 3.0 can be imporeted from evolution 2.0 itself. I
have tried importing version 3 vcards from kaddressbook . It went well
