Greetings.
Thanks for including akonadi-backend-postgresql in Sid... I'm hoping to use it
when I can get it working.
I'm having a lot of trouble when trying to use PostgreSQL 9.1 as the backend
for Akonadi; I can't tell for sure that this is the correct package to file
this bug against, but this seems the most logical place to start. [The next
logical alternative is the 'kmail' package.]
When migrating from KMail1 to KMail2, KMail2 shows a dialog box indicating
that all mail has been migrated, but email does not show up and PostgreSQL
continuously spits out errors to the log with:
2013-07-16 17:51:52 EDT ERROR: invalid input syntax for type bytea at
character 24
2013-07-16 17:51:52 EDT STATEMENT: EXECUTE qpsqlpstmt_7d ('\SEEN')
2013-07-16 17:51:52 EDT ERROR: invalid input syntax for type bytea at
character 24
2013-07-16 17:51:52 EDT STATEMENT: EXECUTE qpsqlpstmt_7d ('\SEEN')
...
After letting the system run for about 24 hours, the postgresql log grows to
about 650 MB containing about 9 million lines of the above, and about 200
emails (out of thousands) show up in KMail2 (in various folders, and none of
the messages in the "inbox" folder ever showed up) from my main IMAP account,
and new ones show up very slowly -- which I believe seems to be related to the
errors. This is repeatable.
Steps to replicate
------------------
1. Install akonadi-backend-postgresql, which pulls in dependencies:
postgresql:amd64
postgresql-9.1:amd64
postgresql-client-9.1:amd64
postgresql-client-common:amd64
postgresql-common:amd64
Modify /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf to uncomment:
standard_conforming_strings = on
(this was suggested in akonadiconsole)
2. 'su' to root, then 'su - postgres' to become the postgres user
3. Create a role for a normal user with CreateDB ability
pgsql -d template1
-> CREATE ROLE cknadle WITH CREATEDB LOGIN;
\q
exit; exit; [to become regular user again]
4. Create new database as a regular user
psql -d template1
-> CREATE DATABASE "akonadi-chris";
\q
5. Delete previous files for akonadi:
rm -rf ~/.local/share/akonadi
rm -rf ~/.config/akonadi/agent*
rm -rf ~/.kde/share/akonadi_*
rm -rf ~/.kde/share/akonadi-*
Delete settings for kmail2 and kmail-migrator
rm -rf ~/.kde/share/config/kmail2*
rm -rf ~/.kde/share/config/kmail-migrator*
6. Open akonadiconsole as user, set to use the akonadi-chris database,
start Akonadi
7. Start KMail2 and choose "Migrate"
Setps 5 through 7 work just fine when using the the Akonadi MySQL backend, and
likewise KMail2 seems to work fine afterwards.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks!
