I have a serious problem since my last update yesterday. Kmail dosn’t start anymore. As soon, as I start it, akonadictl crashes, and in journalctl I can see, that mysql crashes together with akonadi. A rollback helps, but as soon, as I update my system the same error comes again
Known problem
And this one is on the forums: SOLVED: Akonadi blocked by Mariadb update
It may help you to use the temporary by-pass mentioned so you can install the other updates that are available.
You could lock the package maraidb untill the bug is fixed:
zypper ll
# | Name | Type | Repository | Comment

1 | mariadb | package | (beliebig) |
...
with Myrlyn or zypper al mariadb.
Or one could switch akonadi’s backend to sqllite …
akonadi-db-migrator --newengine sqlite
