Bug Description
I installed KAddressbook through the included application manager but when it runs the following error displays: "The Akonadi personal information management service is not operational."
I am running Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver which I installed and updated today December 4, 2018, so it should have all the current patches installed. Also, I seem to remember a similar problem when I installed kaddressbook in Ubuntu 16.04.
As the message indicates the Akonadi database is not working or so it appears. Apparently, the installation process for Kaddressbook does not take into account all the dependencies. I have been using Synaptic package manager to install Akonadi packages but do not know which Akonadi packages are required.
At the Kaddressbook support site (https:/
In short, the application manager should automatically install the necessary dependencies along with the kaddressbook application and it does not.
I will try to update this bug report when I know a work around.

I have eliminated the startup error messages by using synaptic package manager to install the following packages and their dependencies. However, the "Action" and "Tools" menus still are not working.
