The issue is that currently in 12.04 the CouchDB packages are now not installed by default, and a migrated system that wants to keep using Evolution needs the user to manually install the evolution-couchdb package (which installs all the other CouchDB components) - this fixes the issue after a reboot.
It is going to be a big ask to get an ordinary user to jump through this many hoops just to keep the e-mail package they have been using previously. The evolution-couchdb package really need to be made a dependency of the basic Evolution install to provide compatibility with upgrades from 10.04 LTS for the many of us that will continue to use Evolution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution-couchdb in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/955673 Title: Ubuntu One Contact Address Book does not migrate correctly Status in “evolution-couchdb” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Using Evolution on 12.04 B1 when migrating from 10.04 LTS system (existing /home folder from 10.04 used) results in CouchDB "Ubuntu One" Address Book not working on 12.04 system. Evolution version on 10.04 is 2.28.3, 12.04 version is 3.2.3. All other Address Books seem to migrate ok. Error message is: --------- This address book cannot be opened. This either means that an incorrect URI was entered, or the server is unreachable. Detailed error message: Invalid source --------- And you cannot delete this Address Book to remove the error whenever you access this book. I believe that the issue might be that CouchDB is no longer used in 12.04, but it still gets migrated from the old 10.04 /home folder setup. Given that many 10.04 LTS users may well stay with Evolution in 12.04, this could be a significant issue for those of us who will do this.
