I have another solution: - 1st i run update: sudo aptitude update when it is done then: sudo aptitude purge mysql-server-core-5.6 mysql-client-core-5.6 aptitute will tell it has many dependencies, many packages will be removed ... so it asks if i accept that solution - choose no (n) then it will propose installing:
1) mariadb-client-core-10.0 [10.0.17-0ubuntu1 (vivid)] 2) mariadb-common [10.0.17-0ubuntu1 (vivid)] 3) mariadb-server-core-10.0 [10.0.17-0ubuntu1 (vivid)] - if you accept this - mysql will be removed, mariadb (fork of mysql) will be installed, and akonadi will start without any issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to akonadi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445383 Title: Akonadi server is broken after mysql update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/akonadi/+bug/1445383/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
