No system nss db here; this is just converting from DBM to SQL. We observed
that Evolution was only actually managing to copy the contents from the old DBM
database to the new SQL database the *second* time we ran it. It seems to be
reproducible with certutil:

[dwmw2@i7 .pki]$ rm -rf nssdb
[dwmw2@i7 .pki]$ mkdir nssdb
[dwmw2@i7 .pki]$ certutil --upgrade-merge -d sql:/home/dwmw2/.pki/nssdb
--source-dir /home/dwmw2/.local/share/evolution --source-prefix "" --upgrade-id
foodatabase already upgraded.
[dwmw2@i7 .pki]$ certutil -d sql:/home/dwmw2/.pki/nssdb -L

[dwmw2@i7 .pki]$ certutil --upgrade-merge -d sql:/home/dwmw2/.pki/nssdb

Hmm it's interesting that in both cases you get 'database already upgraded'.
