Bug#564514: Fails to start up due to missing tables

[Marcel Dischinger <mdspam@gmx.de>]

Package: akonadi-server
Version: 1.3.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I hit the same problem but was able to fix it following instructions on
http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi#Table_.27mysql._servers.27_doesn.27t_exist

I simply ran 

   mysql_install_db --datadir=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/

and the problems went away.
I am not sure why I had to do this andy why akonadi cannot do this when
running for the first time (I removed everything akonadi-related in
~/.local in an attempt to fix the problem).

Thanks,
Marcel
