           Summary: akonadi server fails to start when home is in AFS
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dirk.heinrichs at altum.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

Since special files (incl. sockets) are not supported in AFS, mysql can't
create a socket file, thus akonadi server can't connect to the database.
