OT Seach for Elaborate Address Book Program

I am planning to put a vast array of handwritten notes into some kind of
order. Notes include names and associated information - addresses,
phone numbers, email addresses, spouse's name, childrens' names, boat
names, birthdays, misc information.

An elaborate address book? An apt-cache search addressbook found
several programs. rubric seemed the closest to meeting my needs but
there was an installation problem:

Unpacking replacement rubrica ...

WARNING: failed to parse type name `boolean'
WARNING: invalid or missing type for schema (/schemas/apps/rubrica2/file/load_files)
WARNING: no <list_type> specified for schema of type list

locale `C': Schema specifies type list but doesn't specify the type of

it wont work.

Any suggestions of other programs to consider?

It "won't" work or it "does not" work? I mean, despite the warning, can
you run the application? :-?

I use Thunderbird's addressbook to manage my contacts which can easily
handled (importing/exporting) by means of LDIF format. But if search for
a standalone application, how about "dlume"? Although I can't find the
site of the project, maybe it has been discontinued? :-?

I meant the application will not run.

I use Thunderbird's addressbook to manage my contacts which can easily
handled (importing/exporting) by means of LDIF format. But if search
for a standalone application, how about "dlume"? Although I can't find
the site of the project, maybe it has been discontinued? :-?

I did checkout dlume which has multiple fields for phone numbers, email
addresses and url's but much of my information would have to be dumped
in the notes field.
