Bug 505669

It's probably a broken dependency in your system. digiKam need to be recompiled after the update.

Just to be sure :

1/ try to run digiKam in GDB following instructions here : 

https://www.digikam.org/contribute/#linux-host-1

2/ try to run the AppImage linux bundle instead the native version from your system. You can use the current 8.7.0 pre-release available here :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Best regards

I don't know if it is the same crash or not, after updating to latest KDE/Digikam on opensuse 15.6, I get a startup crash too.

The appimage doesn't start either, with another issue:
digikam: symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_digiKamWssO5/usr/lib/libQt6WebEngineCore.so.6: undefined symbol: FT_Get_Color_Glyph_Paint

It crash in libjpeg-turbo. It's probably a binary compatibility issue.

Thanks for your reply and help ! 

I tried step 1 and run with gdb and at least I got some lines of info that may help or lead to some clues but I'm not sure what of that to provide ?  Should I paste all the lines here ? 

2nd option to try appimage: 
That works..aDigikam as appimage starts and all pictures and categories are displayed. Seems to be fine with it. But...of course :  statrup is much slower propably because of the container package of an appimage. 

Thanks and best regards,
 Mike

As the AppImage works properly, It's definitively an issue with the native Manjaro digiKam package : a broken binary compatibility with libjpeg. This must be reported as Dowstream to Manjaro bugzilla.
