It does not crash any more, but it shows an error message at startup: The Akonadi personal information management service is not running. This application cannot be used without it. [Start] If I press the [Start] button, apparently nothing happens. When I launch kaddressbook from a terminal, I see this error message: org.kde.pim.akonadicore: Unable to execute akonadi_control, falling back to D-Bus auto-launch appearing twice after startup, and once more each time I press the [Start] button. I suppose this means that kaddressbook should depend on akonadi-server. After installing akonadi-server and launching kaddressbook I see a message telling something about setup, then a new error screen with message: Cannot connect to the Personal Information management service. There are no Akonadi Agents available. Please verify your KDE PIM Installation. [Details...] On the terminal, I see these messages: Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) akonadi.collectionattributetable OK akonadi.collectionmimetyperelation OK akonadi.collectionpimitemrelation OK akonadi.collectiontable OK akonadi.flagtable OK akonadi.mimetypetable OK akonadi.parttable OK akonadi.parttypetable OK akonadi.pimitemflagrelation OK akonadi.pimitemtable OK akonadi.pimitemtagrelation OK akonadi.relationtable OK akonadi.relationtypetable OK akonadi.resourcetable OK akonadi.schemaversiontable OK akonadi.tagattributetable OK akonadi.tagremoteidresourcerelationtable OK akonadi.tagtable OK akonadi.tagtypetable OK Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) org.kde.pim.akonadicore: "" org.kde.pim.akonadicore: Job error: "" for collection: QVector() Pressing the [Details...] button produces no apparent effect. After killing and restarting kaddressbook, the initial setup message does not appear any more, while the error message screen is still there. Again, pressing the [Details...] button has no visible effect.
