This looks wrong.
Basically it says that it is expecting a systemwide MySQL instance but the 
path in OPTIONS indicate a local setup (default).

No idea why that suddenly changed for you, but try this:
edit $HOME/.config/akonadiserverrc so that it has
StartServer=true

And then try running
akonadictl restart
