Akonadi fails to start. I'm not sure what happened when I started to experience the issue, but nevertheless Akonadi should handle it gracefully.


Output of "akonadictl start" includes the following:

[akonadiserver] Found mysql_install_db:  ""
[akonadiserver] Found mysql_upgrade:  ""
[akonadiserver] Database process exited unexpectedly during initial connection!
[akonadiserver] executable: "/usr/sbin/mysqld"
[akonadiserver] arguments: ("--defaults-file=/home/anssi/.local/share/akonadi//mysql.conf", "--datadir=/home/anssi/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/", "--socket=/home/anssi/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket")
[akonadiserver] stdout: ""
[akonadiserver] stderr: ""
[akonadiserver] exit code: 1
[akonadiserver] process error: "Unknown error"


~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/mysql.err contains the following:
