Please start 'akonadiconsole'. This tool allows you to look into 
Akonadi's storage.

On the Agents tab you will find (among others) the Akonadi resources 
that correspond to address books. Check which ones are active/online and 
where they point to.

On the Browser tab you can look into the collections (e.g. address 
books) stored by the resources. If the address book resource used before 
the upgrade is still there then you should be able to browse your 
address book.
