Can't start mysqld after upgrading, while running kde. Status says:
Process: 26840 ExecStart=/usr/bin/mysqld --pid-file=/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Please consider starting a new thread and including more information.

Ah, I forgot about those use cases! Yes, if you have the "mysql" package installed, then you should* change to the mariadb package.
*and by "should" I mean if you want to. MySQL will still work. But, you know, FREEDOM**!
**and by "freedom" I mean freedom from Oracle.

Indeed and I have the current version akonadi 1.9.1-2 running when I quoted the results in my initial post.

]]>Yes, you can ignore the announcement if you don't use MySQL. You can also ignore the announcement if you use MariaDB.
It's funny, I had no idea this announcement was coming, but I upgraded from MySQL to MariaDB just last month.
I don't explicitely have mysqld running so I did the upgrade by installing the new mariadb packages and accepting the removal of the mysql ones. Then checking the status of the mysqld service:
systemctl status mysqld
mysqld.service - MariaDB database server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service; disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
But I am running KDE as my desktop and it seems that a private instance of mysqld is running:
ps -eaf | egrep mysql

mike 9747 761 0 13:39 pts/3 00:00:00 egrep mysql
So the question is whether or not some special upgrade for the KDE instance is needed? If so how does one go about doing it?
Thanks

]]>It is recommended for all users to upgrade.
To avoid more confusion among those of us who are confused enough, shouldn't that read "all MySQL users"?
