Kontact/kmail no longer starts

Moin,

my system is up to date:

KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4

KDE Framework Version 6.17.0

Qt Verstion 6.9.1

But since the last update, Kontact no longer starts. Error message:

A required background service is not operational. See FAQ for troubleshooting tips → Details.

The link to the FAQ doesn’t work, and the “Details” button doesn’t do anything either. But Akonadi is running:

renner@solaris:~$ akonadictl status
Akonadi Control: stopped
Akonadi Server: running
Akonadi Server Search Support: available (Remote Search)
Available Agent Types: akonadi_archivemail_agent, akonadi_birthdays_resource, akonadi_contacts_resource, akonadi_davgroupware_resource, akonadi_etesync_resource, akonadi_ews_resource, akonadi_ewsmta_resource, akonadi_followupremi
nder_agent, akonadi_google_resource, akonadi_ical_resource, akonadi_icaldir_resource, akonadi_imap_resource, akonadi_indexing_agent, akonadi_kolab_resource, akonadi_maildir_resource, akonadi_maildispatcher_agent, akonadi_mailfilt
er_agent, akonadi_mailmerge_agent, akonadi_mbox_resource, akonadi_migration_agent, akonadi_mixed

I run akonadictl vacuum and akonadictl fsck without error messages. I tried to start akonadiconsole, but it shows the same error message as kontact.

Any hint?

Thanks, Micha

Sounds like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508382

Moin Kevin,

Thanks for your quick reply. Deleting the two packages did the trick.
