If you are using #archlinux, think twice before updateing #kmail and #akonadi.

If you are using #archlinux, think twice before updgrading (mariadb). Upgrading to v. 12.1.2 will break #akonadi, and thereby #kmail, #kontact, #korganizer etc.
The cause of this is not kmail or akonadi but mariadb. If you experience this, you can downgrade mariadb packages using pacman -U and point it to packages in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ - the packages mariadb, mariadb-libs and mariadb-clients must be downgraded, adding them on one line is best.
UPDATE I have NOT got this working safely yet.
If you were hit
* close any kdepim app - kmail, kontact, korganizer, kaddressbook, merkuro or other
* stop akonadi - $ akonadictl stop
* remove ALL akonadi related dat from ~/.local and ~/.config. ALL.
* I removed all config, state and app data for kdepim apps as well, before kmail would start cleanlyRepeat until kdepim apps starts cleanly

@anderslund are there any bugs tracking this anywhere

@svuorela I haven't been able to get it working yet. I removed all kdepim related packages from my system, and I will move all their confguratoin and app data.
The first sign of problems was not being able to send a mail last night, before updating the system. I don't know if that was related, it may have been an issue with the mail service I am using.
Kmail and friends were 25.08, and have worked since then.
Mariadb was updated recently, the packages were downloaded on nov. 18th.
Everything broke down after updating last night, so I will investigate what else was updated there.

@anderslund probably arch first, especially if the bug can be filed at both packages

@svuorela Let me see if I can get it working. I can't find any obvious candidates for creating trouble in the update from last nigt, so I did my best to clean out anything akonadi, and downgraded the mariadb packages yesterday. Now kmail at least started.

@svuorela It looks like a compatibility issue between akonadi and mariadb > 12.0.1
