Description Tom Kijas 2010-12-25 00:27:11 UTC

Version:           1.4.80 (using KDE 4.5.90) 
OS:                Linux

Hi, I try KDE4.6 since beta 1 and after update from beta 2 to rc1 akonadi shows me this error: The protocol version of the Akonadi server is incompatible. Make sure you have a compatible version installed.
And says it expected at least version 28 and that I have version 27 installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start computer, login

Actual Results:  
Akonadi crashes with this error

Expected Results:  
Akonadi not crashes

Feel free to ask me please, I do not know what other info I should place here.

Confirmed here, Kubuntu x64 10.10.

Comment 2 Pratik Patel 2010-12-26 23:22:31 UTC

I confirm this bug on Ubuntu x86 10.10 with KDE 4.6 RC 1 installed.

@Tom Kijas: What distribution are using when you get the error?

Comment 3 Robby Engelmann 2010-12-28 13:11:30 UTC

It seems to be a problem specific for Kubuntu. You can install akonadi-server and libakonadiprotocolinternals1 from natty as a temporary workaround

Comment 4 Rufus Dee 2010-12-28 14:15:31 UTC

No, it's not. Confirmed here on Arch linux using binary packages.

Comment 5 Torgny Nyblom 2010-12-28 15:22:16 UTC

Either way this is a packaging error in the distributions.

Please file bugs to them and ask them to ship the latest akonadi server version.
