[debian-mysql] kaddressbook stopped working (Squeeze)

Hello,

I have a kaddressbook issue on squeeze. When starting kaddressbook, my 
configured addressbook 

~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf

is not found. There is also no error message displayed, except at startup 
kaddressbook says that akonadi is not working correctly, but the message 
disappears automatically.

When exiting kaddressbook via the menu, it does not restart.

ps shows that a kaddressbook process still runs. Killing that process manually 
makes kaddressbook starting again. The big surprise is that it makes 
kaddressbook displaying my addressbook again, until the next restart of my 
session.

The akonadi self test shows an error in the mysql area (Test 4). I am 
wondering if that may be the root cause of the problem and if it is related to 
the mysql update sometime back in squeeze, which indicated that it was not 
compatible to previous versions...therefore I am copying the mysql 
maintainers.

I am happy to file a bug report, if that is useful. If yes, please let me know 
which package I should file it against. If the problem is too painful to debug, 
I can also live with the workaround of killing kaddressbug manually after 
session startup...

Thanks,
Rainer
