[debian-mysql] kaddressbook stopped working (Squeeze)

Hello,

I have some more details on the problem. I think it is completely unrelated to 
mysql, therefore please do not keep the mysql maintainers on copy.

The problem seems to be that akonadi is not started at KDE session
startup, but it is started by kaddressbook and this causes a
malfunction of kaddressbook (?).

A circumvention is to start akonadiserver before kaddressbook:
$ akonadictl start

This may be automated through

~/.kde/Autostart# cat start_akonadi.sh 
#!/bin/sh

# kaddressbook starts before this script, so we need to kill it to avoid 
hanging kaddressbook processes, which do not allow a new kaddressbook process 
to start
kill `ps uaxwww|grep -v grep|grep kaddressbook|cut -c10-15`

~/.kde/Autostart# 

Is it expected that akonadiserver is not running after login into KDE? Any 
other hint what could cause the issues are welcome.

Thanks,
Rainer
