Version: 2:0.10.0~beta2-1 (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages I have a fairly large number of pictures, which I had begun cataloging with digikam. At some point I wanted to make sure that changes were not lost and selected "Synchronise images with database" at which point digikam segfaulted. After a restart, digikam no longer shows any albums in the album selection although in the settings dialogue it still lists the correct path as root for the collection. Update, rescan & co have no effect: No albums, no pictures. When trying another "Synchronise images with database" I get occasional segfaults - the dump of which is attached below. I'd hate to lose all the tagging that was done, so I'll stop fiddling now. If you need more information, please let me know.

Georg, We are in 0.10.0-beta6 now. There is a huge list of fixed bugs since beta2. Please try again using this last beta. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
I wish I could. Unfortunately, digikam does not easily compile on Debian sid/experimental, there are some dependency issues that seem non-trivial to resolve. I sent an email to Debian - if anyone can point me to a packaged version somewhere, I'll gladly give it a try.
On #digikam irc channel, there are Debian users if you want help. Gilles Caulier
Georg, digiKam 0.10.0-beta7 is out, with more than 120 bug reports fixed since beta6. Please, please, please, try again with this version... Gilles Caulier
Dear Gilles, Thanks a lot for the update and for your work. I really wish I could give it a try, unfortunately Debian experimental is stuck on 2:0.10.0~beta2 and compiling by hand quickly seems to end in dependency hell. So until someone updates the digikam package in Debian, there is very little I can do unless someone can give me a hint about an up to date Debian package that I can install. Best regards, Georg
Georg, as far as I know, it is not possible to upgrade digikam in experimental. You have to upgrade to KDE 4.2 prerelease packages if you want to test newer digikam.
Modestas, the newest version of KDE I can find in any Debian repository is 4.1.3. Is there a repository that I am missing? Building all of KDE on my laptop is a bit beyond what I can do right now.
I dont see much sense in investigating this bug which occurred with beta2 any more. We have pretty good beta testing coverage since then (and released six more beta versions). Suggest for closing in two weeks unless new information comes up.
Following Marcel, suggestions from #8, I close this file now. Note: digiKam 0.10.0-rc1 is out. Gilles Caulier
