            Bug ID: 299483
          Severity: normal
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR

           Summary: akonadi crashes when ~/.local is a symlink
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: tnemeth at free.fr
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: server
           Product: Akonadi

I had found I had no contact list in the address book at startup. It happened
to be because
of ~/.local was a symlink and akonadi could not start. When I moved the real
directory into
place, akonadi could start.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. akonadictl stop (or just after a clean installation)
2. mv ~/.local /somewhere/else/on/your/drive
3. ln -s /somewhere/else/on/your/drive/.local
4. akonatictl start
Actual Results:  
akonadi could not start :
