Dear Maximiliano,

to give you a full report: This morning kaddressbook refused to work
because of a broken akonadi-system. Starting it out of a terminal it
told me something about not finding some mysql-stuff (I don't have
the exact output anymore). 

I tried to figure out the mysql-akonadi relationsship, found an
empty /etc/akonadi directory and an /etc/xdg/akonadi-directory full
with mysql-related files. I remembered that I had some trouble with
the mysql-backend years ago and decided to purge the mysql-backend
because I thought relating to the dependencies it shouldn't be
necessary. This also removed mysql-client-core and mysql-server-core.
I personally deleted also the empty /etc/akonadi directory.

After this I got the output I quoted in the bugreport. Afterwards I
reinstalled akonadi backend-mysql which also reinstalled
mysql-client-core and mysql-server-core again. And now it works!

As you see my strategy wasn't very professional here. I should have
written the bug-report before purging akonadi-backend-mysql to get an
usable output. So it only remains the fact, that it didn't work
before purging the mysql-backend and works now after reinstalling it.

Sorry! I wasn't aware of the importance of this backend for making
akonadi work.
