RHBA-2014:0539 - akonadi bug fix update
Synopsis
akonadi bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated akonadi packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
Akonadi is a storage service for personal information management (PIM) data and metadata. The service provides unique desktop-wide object identification and retrieval, and functions as an extensible data storage for all PIM applications.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the Akonadi service used the hard-coded ~/.local/share/akonadi socket directory. As a consequence, the Akonadi server did not start if the home directory was located on Andrew File System (AFS), which did not support the creation of UNIX sockets. With this update, the directory that holds the sockets has been changed to '/tmp/[username]-akonadi.[random]'. As a result, Akonadi starts on systems with the home directory on AFS as expected. (BZ#1073939)
Users of akonadi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
