If the traditional resource framework for contacts is not explicitly configured to go through Akonadi rather than directly accessing the file, then it won't. This particular action of the automated migration was deactivated for the KDE 4.2 release, it had been enabled in betas and the RC though. Independent of that, even a fully Akonadi enabled setup, i.e. even with applications directly accessing Akonadi instead of using just another plugin, would obviously still affect the files the data is stored in. After all one would be rather surprised to have an address book file, make changes and not see those changes in the file. > Can't you just patch it to ignore mysql since it isn't really needed? Well, mysqld or rather any database engine implementation fulfilling the requirements, is needed by the Akonadi server. At the moment, i.e. for the 4.2. period, the Debian packagers could decide to have only those packages depend on akonadi-server which actually work with it, e.g. the Akonadi resource plugins (most likely in kdepim-kresources), the Akonadi agents and resources and KPilot. My guess is that the direct dependency is at the application packages in order not to have to change dependencies for 4.3 Cheers, Kevin
