Comment 1 Allen Winter 2025-08-22 17:34:30 UTC
might by fixed by deleting knotes and kpim6-akonadi-notes as mentioned in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508382
perhaps with some reboots

I delete the packages knotes and kpim6-akonadi-notes. After that, kontact could be started correctly again.
