Hi,
this is for the local books, but the Nextcloud is a remote book, which
saves its data under ~/.cache/evolution/addressbook/.
I recall seeing such error when the cache files had been deleted while
the evolution-data-server processes were still running, with the now
deleted files being opened by the process. A fix is to restart the
background processes. You can do it with `evolution --force-shutdown`
or simply by restarting the machine.
Bye,
Milan
