[debian-mysql] Bug#843520: [akonadi-server] Fails to start after mysql upgrade

[Maximiliano Curia]

Control: clone -1 -2
Control: reassign -2 akonadi 1.13.0-2+deb8u1
Control: reopen -2
Control: tag -2 + help newcomer patch

Scott Kitterman pointed me that the kubuntu akonadi packages include a patch 
for the global-mysql.conf file:
 http://launchpadlibrarian.net/291060287/akonadi_1.12.1-0ubuntu1.1_1.12.1-0ubuntu1.2.diff.gz

This might fix the issue on the akonadi side, thus the clone and reopen. I'm 
also requesting help with this bug, as I'm not currently able to "easily" test 
this patch, and we are also more interested in running installations than in 
new installations.

¡Hola Dominic!

I will probably not remember this next time, I hope this isn't a big burden 
for you to redirect the mails accordingly. Thanks for the quick reply, btw.

Ups, it seems that I misread the version.

In any case, ideally, a stable security fix shouldn't break existing software, 
so, if feasible, it would be better to have this fixed in mysqld.

Happy hacking,
