Description Anthony Messina 2018-09-01 01:38:57 UTC
After upgrading mariadb-connector-c to 3.0.6-1.fc28, the auth_gssapi_plugin for the client doesn't work properly:

org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Database error: "Plugin auth_gssapi_client could not be loaded: lib64/mariadb/plugin/auth_gssapi_client.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory QMYSQL: Unable to connect"

Downgrading to 3.0.3-3.fc28, things begin to work immediately.

Hello,
this can be tricky to reproduce.

--

I used VM with the "Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-28-1.1.iso".
Installed, created user, ran.
Akonadi was OK. 'akonadictl status' nor 'journalctl -xe' showed any error

I updated mariadb-server (better said - I updated all mariadb pkgs without the connector)
Akonadi was OK both after 'akonadictl restart' and system reboot. 'akonadictl status' nor 'journalctl -xe' showed any error

I updated mariadb-connector-c.
Akonadi was OK both after 'akonadictl restart' and system reboot. 'akonadictl status' nor 'journalctl -xe' showed any error

I updated the whole system (+- 900 packages), but still it looks like it works fine.

--

That was the first touch.

Is there any special configuration needed or does Akonadi uste the gss plugin by default?

Comment 2 Anthony Messina 2018-09-05 22:39:54 UTC
I have akonadi set up to use a remote MariaDB server (with the server also fully upgraded on F28):

Relevant portion of .config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc
[QMYSQL]
Host=db.example.com
Name=akonadi
Options=
Password=
ServerPath=/usr/libexec/mysqld
StartServer=false
User=myusername

The remote MariaDB server is using GSSAPI authentication which works well for all kinds of other apps I use requiring my users to auth with GSSAPI (Kerberos creds).

With the previous version this worked "automagically"

After the upgrade to the more recent mariadb-connector-c on the client is when things fail.  Downgrading and starting akonadi immediately works with GSSAPI.

Comment 3 Anthony Messina 2018-11-03 21:15:20 UTC
This continues to occur with akonadi under Fedora 29 with mariadb-connector-c-3.0.6-2.fc29.x86_64.

However, I was able to workaround the issue by adding a symlink in "/home/myusername":

So...
/home/myusername/lib64 -> /usr/lib64

seem to allow akonadi to start.

Perhaps the built-in plugin dir is missing the leading / ?

Sadly, I don't have capacity to debug and fix it in following weeks

Comment 5 Michal Schorm 2019-03-20 04:32:56 UTC
I was able to reproduce the issue with a simple C code and I can confirm the Akonadi does not play any role in it.

You can watch the discussion upstream:
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONC-383

Comment 6 Michal Schorm 2019-03-21 03:46:04 UTC
It seems like I found a solution for your problem.
The bad news is that all software that builds on top of mariadb-connector-c everywhere has to be most likely rebuilt ...

--

If you want to speed this up for yourself, you can use the latest mariadb-connector-c builds and rebuild the Akonadi on top of them manualy.

Update:

The rebuild of dependant software shouldn't be needed after all.

Please test the fixed packages and let me know, if it solves your issue
