Hmm, even more symlinks have been broken, This time I spotted /usr/bin/psql pointing to a non-existent ../lib64/postgresql-9.5/bin/psql. I came across it when I tried to connect to the database manually and couldn't run psql, but could run psql96. I'm still not sure if I did something wrong this time during the upgrade and migration and what it might have been, of if something else is amiss and merits a bug report. akonadi is still uncooperative. :-( It must be related to whatever it runs to start postgres. -- Regards, Mick
