Addressbook not working when akonadi is started by kdepim (kontact)

[Thomas Serries]

Binary package hint: kdepim

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04

I migrated my system from Jaunty to Lucid. Since 10.04 the adressbook does not work any more. I observed the following issues:

- Akonadi server no working when starting kontact the first time in a session. (Screenshots will be attached later.)
- After manually starting akonadi the addressbook seems(!) to work, but all mailing list are empty.
- If you try to add E-Mail-Adresses to mailing lists they will not be saved and if you close kontact there will appeare one error message several time (will be attached).

As far as I could research this issue the problem seems to be the start of akonadi by kontact. As long as akonadi is started during the start of kontact I can reproduce this issue. When I start akonadi in advance during session startup I cannot reproduce this issue. The script look like this:

#!/bin/bash
killall kontact || true
/usr/bin/akonadictl start

I removed my workaround; adressbook works fine.

Seems to be fixed.
