Hmm - I was expecting you to have the information panel open, but no
matter.  I was hoping that the modification date would give us a clue
as to how long things had been empty, but since all show the same
modification date it tells us nothing.  FWIW, that shouldn't be so.
My std.vcf_7 for instance shows a modification date of 18 Sept, while
std.vcf_3 shows 19th October.  Is 30th October the date you updated
your distro?  It does look as though the update could be the cause of
your problem, though I've never seen an update do that.  If you have
any backup at all, even quite old, that has data, you should restore
that - it's the best you can do - but also you should talk to your
distro's lists to find out if others have the problem.

By the way - please do not set a Reply-To address.  That field should
only be used if you need replies to go to an address different to the
one you post from, and setting it stops the list mail reply-to header
being set, resulting in replies not getting to other readers.  That's
important because people often search archives for problems similar to
their own.
