Solution: Work-around: -I spent several hrs trying to find way to convert the BDB file to SQLite, without success (or at least, without finding anything that didn't look like it had a significant learning curve). -I copied the old addressbook.db file to an old computer that had an old Evo. -I used that evo to save the addressbook to vCard format. -I importe the list.vcf into the new Evo on the Fedora 17 box
