Akonadi is failing because of the new secure_file_priv default location. Since akonadi doesn't install the full mysql-server-5.5 package, but only the mysql-server-core-5.5 package, the secure_file_priv directory isn't created, and mysql won't start.
This was fixed by having Akonadi set the secure_file_priv setting to empty.
