Weird, /usr/sbin is one of the paths searched for the mysqld executable.

from akonadi/server/src/storage/dbconfigmysql.cpp:
#ifdef MYSQLD_EXECUTABLE
   if ( QFile::exists( QLatin1String( MYSQLD_EXECUTABLE ) ) )
     defaultServerPath = QLatin1String( MYSQLD_EXECUTABLE );
#endif
  const QStringList mysqldSearchPath = QStringList()
      << QLatin1String( "/usr/sbin" )
      << QLatin1String( "/usr/local/sbin" )
      << QLatin1String( "/usr/local/libexec" )
      << QLatin1String( "/usr/libexec" )
      << QLatin1String( "/opt/mysql/libexec" )
      << QLatin1String( "/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin" )
      << QLatin1String( "/opt/mysql/sbin" );
  if ( defaultServerPath.isEmpty() )
    defaultServerPath = XdgBaseDirs::findExecutableFile( QLatin1String( 
"mysqld" ), mysqldSearchPath );

Cheers,
