Is your system up to date? I'm on Ubuntu 16.10 and I have libprotobuf 3.0.0.

Seems that the newest version of libebook-contacts (1.2-2) in Ubuntu 16.10
depends on libphonenumber7, which depends on libprotobuf10, which is 3.0.0

So I think a system update should work to fix the issue. If not, then try
explicitly installing libebook-contacts-1.2-2. If that solves it then maybe
we need to update our package dependencies.
