For some time now, I haven't been able to use kontact or kmail, because Akonadi is not running. This is on an amd64 testing box. When I issue the command "akonadictl start", I get the following output:
Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString)

Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/akonadi-judd.TvrP8V/mysql.socket' exists!

The file ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf exists and is readable. Any suggestions as to what is going wrong here? Thanks.
