Bug#1025162: akonadi-server won't start if the home directory is not immediately under /home

[Josep Guerrero <guerrero@ieec.cat>]

Package: akonadi-server
Version: 4:20.08.3-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I updated from debian buster to debian bullseye. When logging in, akonadi always produced and error 
("exit code 253 (unknown error)") and couldn't start kmail at all as a consequence.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I discovered that newly created for users under /home akonadiserver would work. For newly created users 
under /home/directory wouldn't. I moved my home from /home/nodens/user to /home/user and linked /home/nodens to /home.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Akonadiserver started working againi for my user, but only when home was directly under /home. When it didn't work, dmesg showed some
apparmor errors.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected it to work wherever the home was.
