Contacts error: The Operation could not be completed. No other information is available about the problem.

Question

I get about one or two of these error messages, from Contacts each day: "The Operation could not be completed. No other information is available about the problem." It seemed to start after I deleted some of what appeared to me to be the duplicate cards between "On My Mac" and iCloud. I have Contacts version 9.0 in OS X 10.10 Yosemite on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011). Anyone else seen this error?

Thanks!  I looked at the Busycal post:
          To fix this, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy, select Contacts in the left sidebar, then check BusyCal.app.
On my system, only Skype, Parallels, and Contacts Cleaner are enabled to access contacts.
FYI, LinkedIn doesn't list any apps as having asked for, or been given access.
          If that doesn't work, here is a bigger hammer:
OK
          1) Launch Terminal in /Applications/Utilities.
          2) Paste the following text and hit return:
               tccutil reset AddressBook     
First, I want to see what that does so I ran man tccutil
     NAME
          tccutil -- manage the privacy database
     SYNOPSIS
          tccutil command service
     DESCRIPTION
          The tccutil command manages the privacy database, which stores decisions the
          user has made about whether apps may access personal data.
          One command is current supported:
          reset    Reset all decisions for the specified service, causing apps to prompt
                   again the next time they access the service.
     EXAMPLES
          To reset all decisions about whether apps may access the address book:
                tccutil reset AddressBook
          3) Quit Terminal.
          4) Launch BusyCal, and click OK when asked whether to allow access to your contacts.
Now I see under System Preferences->Security&Privacy->Privacy->Contacts that all apps were removed from the list.
I haven't had BusyCal in years so I just launched Calendar and Contacts.
Unfortunately, as soon as I launch Contacts, I get the pop-up again about the LinkedIn
