Bug Description

akonadi: 4:17.04.3-0ubuntu in artful and 4:17.04.3-0ubuntu1 and ubuntu2 in bionic

When the korganizer tray daemon (koragc) is set to enable event reminders, these silently fail to appear.

Seemingly upstream KDE bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384212

With back-portable fix from the 17.08 branch: https://cgit.kde.org/akonadi.git/commit/?h=Applications/17.08&id=d3c6ba904798768b0c83c2e182c27b1c624f78ca

Test build for artful in: https://launchpad.net/~rikmills/+archive/ubuntu/akonadi-bug

*** SRU information ***

[Impact]

 * An expected and relied on feature of KDE PIM (appointment and event reminders) shown on the desktop etc does not work.

 * Fix is a single non extensive commit that the upstream KDE developer considers is likely to be safe to backport.

[Test Case]

 * Use korganiser to set a calendar item with a reminder

 * Make sure the organiser tray daemeon is running (koragc), and that reminders are enabled.

 * Test if a reminder is shown at the selected appropriate time relative to the event (can be a few mins delay in some cases)

 * In addition, generally test that adding, modifying, viewing event information works as before.

* Test other KDE PIM applications as much as is practical

[Regression Potential]

 * Single commit that upstream considers should not be problematic to backport.

 * As akonagi acts as the storage backend for PIM generally, it is unlikely but possible there could be unintended impacts. Testing of other parts of the PIM stack, as much as is practical is advisable.

---------------
akonadi (4:17.04.3-0ubuntu3) bionic; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches: Add upstream_fix_korganiser_reminders.patch
    Backport upstream fix for KDE Bug:384212 so the korganiser daemon
    can access and act on reminders (LP: #1730513)

Was this ever going to get pulled into Artful? "Reminders don't work at all" seems like a big thing to just sit with an available fix for 5 months now
