Akonadiserver not starting - /usr/bin/mysqld: Deprecated program name

Hello,
when I look system messages with journalctl --follow --lines=1000 --catalog
I see that akonadiserver is constantly trying to restart. I don't know how to fix this. MariaDB is obviosly installed and /usr/bin/mysqld points to /usr/bin/mariadb  ... No idea if that's really the problem though since it also says "Unknown error".
I don't really miss any functionality without it but it is spamming messages log needlessly. Thanks for any ideas on this.

Have you tried e.g. picking a different db engine:

Way too much work for something I have 0 use for. But thanks for your link, I found out I needed to disable Widgets that depend on akonadi for it not to start anymore. I had a KAlarm Applet thingy (the one in the system tray what ever they called), I only needed to remove that and now its gone.
