The problem only occurs with the AppImage. The reason is that a required system file at *buntu is in a different path than on the system in which the AppImage was created.

I still don't understand that nobody builds current digiKam packages for Mint, Ubuntu or Debian.

Gilles, does it make sense to create the AppImage on Ubuntu? I know that many packages are poorly available and that it is more work. However, I think that most of the digiKam AppImage users are Ubuntu or Debian users. All other distributions quickly provide current digiKam packages in repositories.

Maik,

Well, i disklike Ubuntu. So i will never use this system to build AppImage.

Alternative for Ubuntu: flatpak

With next digiKam 7.4.0 release, AppImage bundle is compiled using a more recent Linux Mageia 7.1 host. Last stable Qt 5.15.2 and KF5 5.84 are used. ImageMagick codec 7 and libav 58 (ffmpeg) are used to supports extra image and video formats.
