Following a suggestion from forums.kde.org, I removed my entire akonadi configuration by deleting the following: ~/.local/share/akonadi/ ~/.config/akonadi/ ~/.kde4/share/config/akonadi*
After rebooting I can now save new addresses and edit old ones in the kontact address book. Unfortunately, whenever I do that the fressbusyurls file is still created in ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer So it seems that the bug reported here (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305711) remains unfixed in wheezy. Another person who had this problem posted a solution here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284075 But his solution isn't entirely clear to me. It seems he's suggesting to edit ~/.local/share/contacts and remove the .vcf suffix from all the entries in the contacts directory. Has anyone else tried that? Would doing so create other problems with the address book? Tim
