Bug Description

Import some contacts from a vCard.
While importing, watch the progress.
Everything fine, seemingly.

The console shows a number of ‘Could not import birthday’ messages. A casual user will never see those.

If any part of importing fails, the user should know that. Regardless of this being a parsing problem in Dexter or an error in the vCard, the user needs to be aware that contacts are incomplete.

The tested vCard does work on my mobile.

is there any way I can get the vCard you are trying? There are so many types of vCards, I need weird vCards to test or I can't implement that type.

If Dexter could tell me which one it was, I could anonymise and share it. Kind of a chicken and egg problem I guess.
If it helps, all birthdays in the file seem to be written like "BDAY:1960-08-04".

Actually, I looked a bit for odd-looking lines in the file, and it seems this is the problematic one:

BDAY:1966-00-15

the problem is there is no "00" month, what can I do if there are vCards floating around with impossible bugs?
