I wouldn't say so, because I couldn't find where I could get this ./mku.linux executable.

Another way to detect which mk4 file in ~/.kde4/share/apps/akregator/Archive/ causes Akregator to crash is to use strace to trace the akregator process to find out which file it (opens and) reads last. Just move the corrupted file somewhere else (in case you need to restore the data somehow) to get akregator running again. One might have to do this multiple times if multiple files are corrupt.

When oh when are you KDE guys going to add a decent backend to akregator?! Akregator is destroying my feed data too often and it's getting my the nerves. And there seems to be no recovery option *sob* =[
