Dear Maintainer,

On Debian Trixie, the `/usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/addressbook-export`
binary is not able to export contacts from Evolution.

Steps to reproduce:

 * Create at least one contact in the Evolution default address book
   ("On This Computer - Personnal")
 * From a terminal, type `/usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/addressbook-export`
   to export the Contacts to VCard format.

Expected behavior: The addressbook in VCard format is dump on stdout

Observed behavior: The following error is reported:

`̀̀ `
(addressbook-export:45771): addressbook-export-WARNING **: 10:34:41.233: Failed to get contacts: Cannot get contact list: Requête « #t » non valide
`̀``

Additionally, `/usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/addressbook-export -L`
show no contacts:

`̀``
"system-address-book","On This Computer : Personal",0
```

Maybe this is a compatibility issue between evolution and evolution-data-server in Trixie?
