Short version: remove the package libmarblewidget10 and try again.

Long version: Digikam 1.8 from the Kubuntu Backports PPA was compiled to use libmarblewidget.so.11, but looking at your backtrace it's loading libmarblewidget.so.10.

Comment 3 Andrew Coles 2011-01-30 19:13:55 UTC 
The problem is caused by upgrading to KDE 4.6, but using a version of digikam compiled to work with marble from KDE 4.5.  The new marble data is incompatible with the older version of marble.

The kubuntu backports PPA contains a copy of digikam compiled to use marble from KDE 4.6 - use this package, rather than the one from ppa:philip5/extra.  If you only added the philip5 PPA to get digikam, the easiest way to do this is to run:

sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:philip5/extra
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove digikam digikam-data
sudo apt-get install digikam digikam-data

I can confirm that this solution works for me, on Kubuntu 10.10.
Thanks very much!
Comment 5 Johannes Schwall 2011-02-03 10:17:33 UTC 
Thanks a lot!

This indeed did the trick.

I guess this bug could be closed now, as it's not really a bug. I'll just do that. (Hope it's the right thing to do!?)
