Cannot import vcf into contacts

[itorres]

Possibly related: Bug #136

When I try to import a vcf file with the methods listed in the OpenMoko? wiki for OM2007.2[1] I get an error that states:

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod?: Method "addContact" with signature "s" on interface "org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.addressbook.Book" doesn't exist

I changed the scripts, for they use the path /home/root as it was on OM2007 instead of /root

I have searched for solutions to no avail, though I found the same problem in the user mailing list archives[2]

I forgot to mention, the openmoko-contacts binary doesn't pertain to any package:

freerunner:~/contacts# dpkg -S /usr/bin/openmoko-* | sort
dpkg: /usr/bin/openmoko-calculator not found.
dpkg: /usr/bin/openmoko-contacts not found.

OK, it's a "works for me" now.

The thing is that if you try to use the scripts through SSH, it spawns a new "/usr/libexec/e-addressbook-factory" process.

This seems to garble the DBUS interface to eds, even if you try to use the scripts from the openmoko terminal.

So I suppose is not the stated bug, after all. But from my point of view there shouldn't be rogue "e-addressbook-factory" processes (a pid or lock file would help).

Could you check if this is still the case with latest daily build? Else this ticket will be closed.
