[CONFIGURATION] Akonadi PIM

[Oderus]

Hello! I recently installed and configured MySQL to work with Amarok. Since then, upon opening KMail, It tells me that The Akonadi personal information manager is not operational. I tried to get akonadi to start, but it gave me quite a few errors, posted below. Anyone know how to fix this so i can go back to using kmail? Thank you!

As it happens, somehow mariadb was not installed, and installing this solved everything.
