Try to update your KDE version to the latest stable: 3.5.8. This bug is not reproducible there.

Btw, can you start "kaddressbook" as a standalone application?

from a konsole I start it:
--- schnipppp
reinhard@buero:~$ kaddressbook
ERROR: Communication problem with kaddressbook, it probably crashed.
reinhard@buero:~$ 
--- schnappp
What can I do else?

>kaddressbook: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkaddressbook.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZNK4KABC9Addressee10departmentEv 
That is a bug in the distribution you are using, report that bug to Debian. You are using incompatible libraries, and therefore get a symbol lookup error.

thank you for your help
For all with the same error:
The libs are different
test it:
$ apt-cache policy kdelibs4c2a
kdelibs4c2a:
   kdelibs 3.5.7
   kaddressbook 3.5.8 
The answer of this problem:
update kdelibs

The development of the old KAddressBook will be discontinued for KDE 4.4.
Since the new application has the same name, but a completly new code base we close all bug reports against the old version and ask the submitters to resend there reports against the new product.
