Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I put my captured contacts to "~/.orgmode/data/contact.org" and I can successfully capture the contacts, however, when I eval the function org-contacts in org mode, it just shows the message in the title. if the contact file is empty, it does not show the message, but org-contacts show an empty match.
