[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#340567: digikam: fails to start with "albumtreestate.bin not found"

[Robert Waldner]

Package: digikam
Version: 0.7.2-2
Severity: normal


As the subject says:

:) waldner at fsck->~ $ digikam
digikam: WARNING: [void AlbumFolderView::loadAlbumState()] Failed to
open albumtreestate.bin
(according to strace it tries to open
29036 open("/home/waldner/.kde/share/apps/digikam/albumtreestate.bin",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) )

and then I'm stuck with a splashscreen, and can do nothing. The last
think digicam does is connect to localhost:921 (famd) and then trying to
read from there, but I've no idea what famd's supposed to spew out (if
that has anything to do with the problem).

I can't find albumtreesate.bin via the search interface at packages.d.o (even in
unstable) so I'm somewhat at a loss here. There is mention of this problem on
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=35249&style=flat&viewday=15&viewmonth=200408
but it also says that it's fixed - and that mail's from 2004.

(Note: I'm not using KDE per se, but Enlightenment, and pulled in
digikam via simple apt-get install from stable)

cheers,
