Re: Adonadi not operational

It's akonadiCTL not akonadiCLT. Short for akonadi control.

Force reinstalling means just that: forcing the package manager to
re-install all the required packages. Just in case some files are corrupt
or missing. An alternative is to completely uninstall and reinstall the
whole PIM suite.
