Hi
My girlfriend's laptop is running kubuntu 14.04.3 and she uses kmail for her email. A couple of days ago kmail stopped working with error messages about akonadi.
After much investigation, akonadi starts /usr/sbin/mysqld-akonadi. This file in turn is a bash script containing "exec /usr/sbin/mysqld $@", and the problem was that /usr/sbin/mysqld did not exist.
On my latest kubuntu 15.10, akonadi-backend-mysql lists mysql-server-core as a dependency, and this provides /usr/sbin/mysqld.
On my girlfriend's 14.04 laptop, akonadi-backend-mysql does not have mysql-backend-server as a dependency. When I installed mysql-backend-server-5.5, all her problems were solved and now akonadi starts and kmail works.
Just posting this in case anyone else runs into the same problem.
