OK that was helpful. The issue for me was that this laptop has quite an old original installation. Somewhere along the way I changed to mariadb-client-core, but failed to update the legacy mysql server version from 5.6 to 5.7, so the tables were not updated. I have upgraded to the matching mariadb-server-core and reduced the number of errors in the server log from 60 to 2. I don't suppose many people deliberately run a mixture of mysql/mariadb in this way, so it might be worth adding a check in the selftest. It also took me a while to find out how to run /usr/bin/akonadiselftest after making changes as it doesn't seem all that obvious in the documentation. -- anxiousmac
