Reverting to kdepim 4.3 (because it supposedly does not need mysqld) is not an option for consideration because "disadvantages" out-weights advantages way too much. What I meant with "despite obvious proof on the contrary" is openness to consider akonadi update options which I have told you in my very first reply.

And Debian is supposed to give up bug fixes and enhancements in stable kdepim 4.4.x in order to avoid your pet annoyance? Kinda selfish. But really, let's just stop here, we won't agree anyway so let's do something useful rather than argue pointlessly. -- Modestas Vainius <modestas@vainius.eu>
