Need help getting my address book back

Arthur Pemberton pemboa at gmail.com

So in the major KDE update before the last, I seem to have lost the
ability to add (or otherwise change) my address book (which had since
been renamed to anaondi something). I did the most recent update in
the hope that the problems had been resolved, now I can't use my
Kontact address book at all, the window is blacked out with the
message "Akonadi is not operational".

Since I didn't do anything to break Akonadi, I'm unsure of what to do
to fix it. Can anyone assist please?
