Sorry for hijacking your thread

I just checked and kubuntu-restricted-extras actually includes the Sun version. We just had different manually installed packages before we installed the metapackage

Converting Nepomuk data to the new backend failed. Data may still be recovered manually though.

That sounds bad.

Jaunty 9.04 KDE 4.3.2. I started seeing this pop-up message after the Sesame backend for Soprano was installed. Reading this thread, I decided to look at the location of the data and index directories:

~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/

There you find two direcories:

~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/data

and

~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/index

I cd'd into the /data directory and found:

~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/redland

and

~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/sesame2

I checked the dates on the files in both, and those in the redland directory were 'older' than those in the sesame2 directory - those had this evenings date/times. That told me that the redland directory was being used pre-sesame2 backend update.

I stopped Nepomuk and Strigi. I then deleted all the files in the redland directory and then removed the directory. I also opted to delete all the files in the index directory. Then I restarted Nepomuk and Strigi and let it reindex. So far so good.

I think the error is/was coming from the fact that the redland directory was still present - the sesame2 backend installation doesn't clean that up.

My two-cent observation.
