Version: 4.6 (using KDE 4.5.95) OS: Linux see http://openqa.opensuse.org/opensuse/permanent/video/openSUSE-NET-x86_64-Build1016.ogv at 03:03 KDE package version is 4.5.95 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: - have a fresh openSUSE-Factory install - start kontact Actual Results: a popup appears stating Trying to migrate "Default Calendar"... Migration of ... succeeded. Trying to migrate "Birthdays"... Migration of ... succeeded. then another popup with Trying to migrate "DefaultAddress Book"... Migration of ... succeeded. Expected Results: Since this is a fresh install, there is really nothing to migrate. and in older testruns from 2011-01-08 openSUSE-Build0998 (probably containing KDE-4.6-RC1) it did not have any text in the Migration window and had it disappear by itself.
Although it is just a workaround, according to http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/PIM/Akonadi#How_do_I_disable_automatic_migration_from_KDE.27s_traditional_framework.3F the migration tool is controlled by standard KDE configuration file called kres-migratorrc. Distributors or system administrators wanting to disable the automatism will probably want to that globally, e.g. by editing the installed default configuration file, or by using KDE's configuration hierachy and using a profile config between that and the user level. The quickest way to deactivate it for one user account only is to use KDE's kwriteconfig tool to set the respective configration value with a simple copy&paste of the following command: kwriteconfig --file kres-migratorrc --group Migration --key Enabled --type bool false Please note that at some point KDE applications such as Kontact, KOrganizer, KMail will be using Akonadi directly, at which point migration either has to be enabled or performed manually.

Reopening. The issue reported is slightly different.
This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
