Bug ID: 503651
Summary: akonadi crash on startup unable to remove old log
file, permission denied.
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: Akonadi
Version: 6.3.3
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: j...@veitch.me.uk
CC: c...@carlschwan.eu
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
akonadi server crashes at startup, apparently because it is unable to remove
~/.local/share/akonadi/Akonadi.error.old. Even if I remove the directory
containing this file and start afresh it still crashes (see below). I have
permission to delete the old log file manually so I can't understand the cause
of this error.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. `rm ~/.local/share/akonadi`
2. `akonadictl start`
3. crash
OBSERVED RESULT
```
jveitch@hermes:~$ rm -r .local/share/akonadi
jveitch@hermes:~$ akonadictl start

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't think it should matter but the directory ~/.local is a symlink from an
NFS volume where $HOME is mounted to a local ext4 partition.
