I had a problem with KMail today: when I started it, I got an error message "A required background service is not available". I tried starting the akonadi server with a terminal command. That got me a slew of errors.

So I installed =dev-db/mariadb-10.6.21, and now K-Mail is working again. I checked my build logs. Mariadb-10.11.11 was installed on March 22, about 5:00 pm. So the new version worked OK for about 4 days before it failed. I'm thinking the latest version of Mariadb isn't ready for prime time. Should I file a bug report?

So today I said "akonadictl stop", then "akonadictl start". I then upgraded mariadb to version 10.11.11. So far it's working OK.

You should do the same after upgrading (or preferably put the upgrade between those). The error is saying you cannot upgrade versions when shutdown abnormally.
Additionally, mariadb-admin --defaults-file=/home/david/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf --socket=/run/user/1000/akonadi/mysql.socket shutdown might also be used to shutdown cleanly if akonadictl does not do it properly. |

After reinstalling mariadb-10.11.11, it ran OK for four days, 28 March through 1 April. Then it died with the same error message. So I went back to version 10.6.21, got kmail running, then shut kmail down and said
| Code: | | david@localhost ~ $ akonadictl stop |
I then upgraded to mariadb-10.11.11 before saying
| Code: | | david@localhost ~ $ akonadictl start |
This hung up in the middle of the operation. I kicked it in the pants with
| Code: | | david@localhost ~ $ akonadictl status |
which got the akonadi server running successfully.
Keep your fingers crossed.
