            Bug ID: 402472
           Summary: kaddressbook doesn't show any contacts
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

Created attachment 117067

screenshot of the problem

Somewhen during upgrades, my contacts got lost - or to be precise, the ability
of kmail to autocomplete addresses from contacts. (I don't know when that
happened as the autocomplete still works with recent addresses so I haven't
noticed until the address I needed wasn't among recently used ...)

Trying to fix that, I've opened kaddressbook to check the contact and
eventually fix that, but I saw nothing and could fix nothing because there is
nothing to configure in kaddressbook.

So I went to akonadiconsole to find there is no contacts agent. So I have added
the one for vcf file and pointed it to the good old 'std.vcf' file.

Hooray, now autocomplete/search by name in kmail works for all the contacts ...

But I cannot (easily) edit them, as none of them are shown in kaddressbook.
(Well, via akonadiconsole I can edit anything ...)

However, kaddressbook obviously works with the vcf agent, as I can add a
contact, it shows 'std.vcf' in a dropdown selecting where to store the new
contact, and if I save it, it gets added to the 'std.vcf' file.

The appended screenshot shows a contact selected in akonadiconsole, so the
agent obviously works, but at the same time no contacts are shown in
kaddressbook ...

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add a vcf file resource to akonadi
2. open kaddressbook
3. add a contact to that vcf

OBSERVED RESULT
you cannot see the freshly added contact in kaddressbook
examining the vcf file, you see the contact got added into it

EXPECTED RESULT
the new contact shows in kaddressbook
(and of course it is added to the file)
