Package: kmail Version: 4:4.4.7-2 Severity: important KMail is unusable with $HOME on OpenAFS: it starts and is usable, but after a few moments an error message stating that akonadi could not be started shows up. KMail then exits:
kmail(4842)/libakonadi Akonadi::Control::Private::exec: Could not start/stop Akonadi! kmail(4842) main: Unable to start Akonadi server, exit application The problem with starting Akonadi is that it tries to create a UNIX socket in $HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket. This is not possible with OpenAFS. See also the attached report. I see two possible solutions for this problem: a) Akonadi should create the socket elsewhere. Other parts of KDE seem to use /tmp/ksocket-$USER here (or $HOME/.kde/socket-$HOSTNAME which is a symlink to the directory in /tmp). b) KMail should not exit when it cannot start Akonadi. It still seems to be usable. It would be nice if this could be fixed for Squeeze as KMail is right now unusable :-( Regards, Ansgar -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kmail depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.5-1 runtime components from the offici ii kdepim-runtime 4:4.4.7-1 Runtime components for akonadi-kde ii kdepimlibs-kio-plug 4:4.4.5-1 kio slaves used by KDE PIM applica ii libakonadi-contact4 4:4.4.5-1 library for using the Akonadi PIM ii libakonadi-kde4 4:4.4.5-1 library for using the Akonadi PIM ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-6 GCC support library ii libgpgme++2 4:4.4.5-1 c++ wrapper library for gpgme ii libkabc4 4:4.4.5-1 library for handling address book ii libkcal4 4:4.4.5-1 library for handling calendar data ii libkde3support4 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE 3 Support Library for the ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdepim4 4:4.4.7-2 KDE PIM library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libkhtml5 4:4.4.5-1 the KHTML Web Content Rendering En ii libkimap4 4:4.4.5-1 library for handling IMAP data ii libkio5 4:4.4.5-1 the Network-enabled File Managemen ii libkldap4 4:4.4.5-1 library for accessing LDAP ii libkleo4 4:4.4.7-2 certificate based crypto library ii libkmime4 4:4.4.5-1 library for handling MIME data ii libknotifyconfig4 4:4.4.5-1 library for configuring KDE Notifi ii libkontactinterface 4:4.4.5-1 Kontact interface library ii libkparts4 4:4.4.5-1 the Framework for the KDE Platform ii libkpgp4 4:4.4.7-2 gpg based crypto library ii libkpimidentities4 4:4.4.5-1 library for managing user identiti ii libkpimtextedit4 4:4.4.5-1 library that provides a textedit w ii libkpimutils4 4:4.4.5-1 library for dealing with email add ii libkresources4 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE Resource framework library ii libksieve4 4:4.4.7-2 mail/news message filtering librar ii libktnef4 4:4.4.5-1 library for handling TNEF data ii libkutils4 4:4.4.5-1 various utility classes for the KD ii libmailtransport4 4:4.4.5-1 mail transport service library ii libmessagecore4 4:4.4.7-2 message core library ii libmessagelist4 4:4.4.7-2 message list library ii libmimelib4 4:4.4.7-2 MIME library ii libnepomuk4 4:4.4.5-1 the Nepomuk Meta Data Library ii libphonon4 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 the core library of the Phonon mul ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-network 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 network module ii libqt4-qt3support 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 3 compatibility library for Qt ii libqt4-xml 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 GUI module ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libthreadweaver4 4:4.4.5-1 the ThreadWeaver Library for the K ii perl 5.10.1-16 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii phonon 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 metapackage for the Phonon multime Versions of packages kmail recommends: ii gnupg-agent 2.0.14-2 GNU privacy guard - password agent pn gnupg2 <none> (no description available) ii pinentry-qt [pinentry-x11] 0.8.0-1 Qt-3-based PIN or pass-phrase entr Versions of packages kmail suggests: pn clamav | f-prot-installer <none> (no description available) ii kaddressbook 4:4.4.7-2 address book and contact data mana pn kleopatra <none> (no description available) pn procmail <none> (no description available) pn spamassassin | bogofilter | a <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
