Dear Maintainer,
On Debian Trixie, the `/usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/addressbook-export`
binary is not able to export contacts from Evolution.
Steps to reproduce:
* Create at least one contact in the Evolution default address book
("On This Computer - Personnal")
* From a terminal, type `/usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/addressbook-export`
to export the Contacts to VCard format.
Expected behavior: The addressbook in VCard format is dump on stdout
Observed behavior: The following error is reported:
`̀̀ `
(addressbook-export:45771): addressbook-export-WARNING **: 10:34:41.233: Failed to get contacts: Cannot get contact list: Requête « #t » non valide
`̀``
Additionally, `/usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/addressbook-export -L`
show no contacts:
`̀``
"system-address-book","On This Computer : Personal",0
```
Maybe this is a compatibility issue between evolution and evolution-data-server in Trixie?
