I've been having an odd issue with the Mac App Store app on my Mojave-running iMac: Sometimes the App Store app will fail to install an update for some app. When that happens, I see a dialog with this text as the title:

Below that is a single word, 'cancelled,' and that's all. Searching the web, I came across this thread on stackexchange.
What finally worked for me was a combination of things listed there—none of these steps on their own seem to fix the problem, but all together do, at least until it occurs again.
- Quit the App Store app.
- Switch my DNS to another provider.
- In Terminal, paste this command and press Return: open '$TMPDIR/../C/com.apple.appstore/'
- Confirm that the Finder opened a window to the com.apple.appstore folder, then drag everything there to the trash.
- Back in Terminal, paste this line and press Return: killall -9 appstoreagent
- Relaunch the App Store app.
This method has worked for me each time I've had this issue. It's annoying that it keeps recurring, but at least the fix is relatively simple.

It is positively *shameful* that mutt can use the apple address book and entourage can't. The Microsoft folks are supposed to be smart; this shows that they are not all that smart.
You mention pine, but I see no hooks in pine to use an external program like this to query for addresses... How did you get pine to use lbdbq?
This hack does not integrate the OS X address book with pine. lbdb can READ the pine address book, but it cannot integrate with pine's address book. This is because pine has no way to query out to a program to get its address book info; it must be read from a file. (and you really can't even setup a nifty named pipe to fake pine out because pine expects all addresses to be in that file ahead of time… There's simply no way to ‘query' the file)
NOTE: There are ways to make bbdb WRITE pine address books:

I don't know if you can integrate bbdb with the OS X address book. And regardless, this would require periodically syncing your bbdb address book to a file.
So that sucks.
HOWEVER, PINE address books *CAN* be stored on an remote IMAP server. This means that if you keep your address information (very limited in pine) on the server, on ANY pine you open up regardless of location, you'll get the same address book. Pine does the same thing with configuration. This is one of the strengths of pine. Imagine if you could open up Thunderbird or Mail ANYWHERE and have it DOWNLOAD a configuration and an address book automatically. You would only have to configure your mail app once and any changes would automatically propagate to every other machine you use without you having to do anything.
I was just wondering the other day if it might be possible to hook mutt in to the AddressBook database, rather than maintaining a redundant alias file for mutt. So thanks!
How about Address Book and Thunderbird? Does anyone have any ideas on how to sync them?
Not a huge fan of Mail.app but depend alot on iSync...
Thanks,

While you currently cannot integrate Thunderbird directly from the Address Book, you can use Quicksilver to blend the two together slightly.
Quicksilver looks through your address book. You can use 'comma' to build a list of e-mail addresses within Quicksilver. Then you can tab over to the action field and type 'Compose' to bring up 'Compose E-mail To...'. If Thunderbird is your default e-mail client, it will send an e-mail to the people Quicksilver has picked out of your address book.
Heya... I'm trying this out. Have everything installed on my Mac, and lbdbq can successfully query the mac address book. But mutt does not find them. Any suggestions how to debug? I've tried all these:
set query_command='lbdbq %s'
#set query_command='/usr/local/bin/lbdbq '%s'
Tried with and without quotes. I'm guessing a path problem, or a library
problem (from inside mutt) but don't know how to troubleshoot it.
Suggestions?
Thanks a million!!

It doesn't compile!!!!

For European users you might want to add
| iconv -f MACROMAN
to see diacritics (äöü) properly.
Full code:
set query_command = 'contacts -Ssf '%eTOKEN%n' '%s' | sed -e 's/TOKEN/t/g' | iconv -f MACROMAN'
