digikam crashes when trying to load my images into albums. It starts fine if I use an empty directory as my default location for images.

The output is as follows:
mas@mas-laptop:~$ digikam

Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2009-04-19 12:13:37 UTC 
And another one relevant of Exiv2.

Please update to last stable Exiv2 0.18.1. libkexiv2, digiKam and kipi-plugins need to be recompiled.

To Ubuntu packagers : Please update repository...

Gilles, 

I've been following the reports here. It looks like these are all caused by Exiv2 bug http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/show/615, which was originally reported as digiKam bug #182738 but I can't explain this surge of such reports.
