akonadi has problems to start

[Martin (KDE)]

Hallo all

with the 4.4.0 kde release I got my akonadi up and running. The 4.4.1 
update brought me some minor problems with my fully updated F12 
system.

After a fresh login I lost my address book. So I stopped akonadi, 
exited kontact, removed .local/share/akonadi folder and restarted 
akonadi. It created all the needed files, started up and I got my 
address book back.

After the next login I got an akonadi error message which stated that 
the data from my traditional imap-address book could not be read. 
Additionally I got the error in my akonadi log:

[ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' 
doesn't exist

I have to run the command: 
mysql_install_db --datadir=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/

To get the server running without an error. I don't know what was 
going wrong here, but automatic creation seems to fail on my host. And 
I still have one warning that the protocol version can not be checked 
without a connection to the server. I don't know which server (nepomuk 
or akonadi) but both are running.

And what I don't get: Why do they need so many (different) database 
servers? Nepomuk (virtuoso), Amarok (MySQL), Akonadi (MySQL) ... I 
think it is time to get a general KDE Database path with a 
configuration dialog and an "make it work again" option.
