[Bug 578357] [NEW] Akonadi startup error with no MySql

[DavorCubranic]

Public bug reported:

I upgraded an older PC from KUbuntu Karmic to Lucid by doing a clean
install to the root partition, and keeping existing files in the
separate '/home' partition untouched. I now cannot use KMail any more,
because Akonadi fails to start up. This is the error output that I get
when I tried running 'akonadictl start' from the console:

I tried running 'akonadictl start' from the command line, and it fails to start -- apparently because I haven't installed MySql. Console output is below:
