[SOLVED] kdepim broken with recent jessie update

[MH]

I did a routine update of my Jessie system per notification a few days ago. Now none of the kdepim packages will load. For example, I get the following error when attempting to load korganizer:

akonadi control process not registered at D-Bus

Running "akonadictl status" gives me a similar error. I did not pay any attention to the few files that were updated, but I suspect mysql was involved. I can provide more info if needed, but I would expect this is a major problem that has been noticed by anyone using kde.

Maybe this https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=2 ... 57#p366766

That was a good find, but the solution offered did not work.

My bad. I made a typo when creating /var/lib/mysql-files directory per suggested solution. All my kde-pim applications are now functional. Unfortunately, it seems all my calendar data has been lost. I can only find one .ics file and I'm sure I had others, though I only ever used one. It's strange because I thought alarms and notes were stored in the calendar file, and both the latter exist. Since I didn't delete anything, the original calendar file must be somewhere, unless it was overwritten during the package update.
