New comment by b1scu1t on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/25252#issuecomment-714626790 Comment: You are correct. It seems that you must manually specify the database back-end in `~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc`. It's set to 'Q**MYSQL**' by default. Check here for more info: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#SQLite Akonadi also supports PostgreSQL, apparently.
