Re: Please test akonadi-server 1.13.0-3



Hi there,

currently testing akonadi-server 1.13.0-3 (with the mysql backend,
that's the only one I use) from Debian/Sid on Debian/Jessie.

My Jessie installation is somewhat tainted ;-) in that I pulled
KDEPIM 4.14.2-2 from unstable before, in the hopes of getting
a few issues fixed.

Startup and a few actions on IMAP folders so far look good,
for akonadi as well as KMail.

My procedure was slightly different. While on akonadi-server 1.13.0-2, I
followed the procedure outlined in [1]. This means, by the time I've installed
1.13.0-3, 'akonadictl fsck' had already been run and the file_db-lost+found/
directory cleared.

Another run of 'akonadictl fsck' does not seem to find anything new, albeit
a number of fdupes left in file_db_data (which seems to be normal).

Will do and report back if I find something unusual.

By the way, removing duplicate email messages via the corresponding
KMail menu entry, which was a NOP for me previously, seems to be working
again after following the instructions in [1]. There's a bug report
for that, which I'm going to update accordingly.

Let's hope for the best. =)
