Yes, Rex Deiter replied the same off-list.

The real problem was that I updated "kde\*" and that didn't include
akonadi.  Installing akonadi-mysql restored the missing configuration
file.  But the 'Unable to add column' problem was due to my local
mysql.conf file.  I uncommented this line to get past the error:

    #lower_case_table_names=1

I don't know why this was commented or even why the file was there in
the first place.  I renamed the file and restarted akonadi and all is
well.

Thanks for the suggestion.
