            Bug ID: 329120
           Summary: Migration Agent displays a totally uninformative
                    dialog requiring user input.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Migration
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: jem at iki.fi

After 'emerge world' on my Gentoo PC a dialog popped up automatically asking me
to take action. The problem is that the dialog gives no indication of what the
problem is, the severity of the problem or even what piece of software is
involved. The dialog pops out of the blue, it is not associated with any
context.
The window title says: "Conflict Resolution - Migration Agent". The text in the
dialog: "Two updates conflict with each other. Please choose which update(s) to
apply."
"Modification time: Changed contact: 00:00:00, Conflicting Contact 2013-12-22
11:23:40".
Three buttons: "Take left one, Take right one, Keep both".
That's all. This does not tell the user anything and is potentially very scary.
What conflict? The Middle East conflict? What's a contact in this context, and
why does it look like a timestamp?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Gentoo Linux with KDE.
2. Update the system to the latest versions, this time including KDE 4.12.
3. Restart the system.
Actual Results:  
At next boot gaze at a mysterious dialog asking you to take action on something
you haven't got the faintest clue of.

Expected Results:  
The software should either fix the problem automatically or, if it can't be
resolved automatically, explain what the problem is, what entities are
involved, and what the implications of each of the given alternatives are.
