Hi, This doesn't work for me, either (tested on two sid machines):
$ mysql_upgrade --socket=~/.local/share/akonadi/socket-mani Looking for 'mysql' as: mysql Looking for 'mysqlcheck' as: mysqlcheck FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed On Mittwoch, 16.

Sl 0:12 /usr/sbin/mysqld --defaults-file=/home/zing/.local/ share/akonadi/mysql.conf --datadir=/home/zing/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ -- socket=/tmp/akonadi-zing.F1xri4/mysql.socket Using the socket file directly (instead of the symlink, as shown above) does not make a difference. I also tried adding the "--defaults-file" option to mysql_upgrade, but that is not recognised (even though the man page says otherwise). > What does mysql.err log say? Nothing at all. I've got the startup messages and the obvious "Native table XYZ has the wrong structure" messages, but after the version/socket line there are no messages. Johannes
