28 Hmm, even more symlinks have been broken, This time I spotted
29 /usr/bin/psql pointing to a non-existent ../lib64/postgresql-9.5/bin/psql.
30 I came across it when I tried to connect to the database manually and
31 couldn't run psql, but could run psql96. I'm still not sure if I did
32 something wrong this time during the upgrade and migration and what it
33 might have been, of if something else is amiss and merits a bug report.
34
35 akonadi is still uncooperative. :-(
36
37 It must be related to whatever it runs to start postgres.
