Can you please share what you did on your system to make this happen
if you can remember?  Over here kde-base/akonadi is dragged in by
kde-base/kdepim-meta and I haven't found a way to disable it.  Every
time I fire up kmail it starts up and causes delay as it fails to
find/start mysqld.

I have unmerged nepomuke and all related packages have been remerged
with -semantic-desktop set in /etc/make.conf:

# euse -I semantic-desktop
global use flags (searching: semantic-desktop)
************************************************************
[- c  ] semantic-desktop - Cross-KDE support for semantic search and
information retrieval

Installed packages matching this USE flag:
kde-base/akonadi-4.3.1
kde-base/dolphin-4.3.1-r1
kde-base/gwenview-4.3.1
kde-base/kdebase-meta-4.3.1
kde-base/kdelibs-4.3.1-r2
kde-base/kget-4.3.1
kde-base/kmail-4.3.1-r1
kde-base/pykde4-4.3.1
