Akonadi MySQL Errors

If following a new install (or an upgrade for people not previously using Akonadi/Nepomuk/Strigi) Akonadi is whinging at you because the mysql log has errors such as this:
[ERROR] Can’t open and lock privilege tables: Table ‘mysql.servers’ doesn’t exist
Then the following should sort you out:
$ akonadictl stop
$ rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data
$ mysql_install_db --datadir=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/
$ akonadictl start
$ rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data
$ mysql_install_db --datadir=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/
$ akonadictl start
It worked for me. Your Mileage May Vary.
DO NOT follow this if you have Akonadi data you do not want to lose.
