Anyone else seeing issues with kaddressbook and distribution lists?
Three of our users, to my knowledge; others might not have noticed yet,
have had distribution lists corrupted in their std.vcf files for no
apparent reason.
For example here's a diff showing the breakage:
*** backup.8/home/steven/.trinity/share/apps/tdeabc/std.vcf Wed Jan 23 16:26:48 2019
--- backup.9/home/steven/.trinity/share/apps/tdeabc/std.vcf Tue Jan 22 16:27:12 2019

***************
The '\,' between each entry in the list went AWOL sometime between these
two backup copies which makes kaddressbook come up with the UID as the
target email address, causing a massive fail.
For fun and amusement, I hand edited the \, between the entries back
into the list and it all works again.
