Package: akonadi-server
Version: 1.13.0-2+deb8u2
Severity: important
Dear akonadi Maintainers,
Mysql-server-core-5.5 5.5.53-0+deb8u1 broke akonadi for root user: #843534.
Akonadi got updated, but now it expects /var/lib/mysql-files to be
present on the system:
ProcessControl: Application 'akonadiserver' returned with exit code
255 (Unknown error)

--secure-file-priv. Please make sure that directory exists and is
accessible by MySQL Server. Supplied value : /var/lib/mysql-files
161116 10:36:33 [ERROR] Aborting
This directory is created in mysql-server-5.5's postinst script in
5.5.53-0+deb8u1.
I suggest fixing this issue in two steps:
1. Creating the directory in mysql-server-core-5.5's postinst in 5.5.53-0+deb8u2
2. Depending on mysql-server-core-5.5 (>= 5.5.53-0+deb8u2) in akonadi
1.13.0-2+deb8u3
If you agree with the suggested solution please clone the bug to
mysql-5.5 to let step 1. start.
Cheers,
Balint
PS: /var/lib/mysql-files is left on the system after mysqld-server-5.5
is removed which may be a problem to solve in the mysql fix.
