[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#676419: [digikam] Internal Mysql server does not work anymore

[Carsten Pfeiffer]

Package: digikam
Version: 4:2.6.0~rc-4
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I've used the previous 1.9 version with the internal mysql server, which 
worked OK. The new 2.6 version however doesn't seem to start the internal 
mysql server anymore.

I get this output on the console:
digikam(10032)/digikam (core) Digikam::AlbumManager::setDatabase: 
DatabaseParameters: [ Type "QMYSQL", Name "digikam" (Thumbnails Name 
"digikam"); ConnectOptions: 
"UNIX_SOCKET=/home/gus/.kde/share/apps/digikam/db_misc/mysql.socket", Using an 
Internal Server; Username and Password: "root", ""]

And then this message in a dialog:
Details: No path to mysqld set in server configuration

The relevant code seems to be this (line 157ff):
https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/entry/databaseserver/databaseserver.cpp?branch=&tag=&rev=

It looks like the "dbServerCmd" path is empty. AFAICS, it should be read from 
/usr/share/kde4/apps/digikam/database/dbconfig.xml which looks good and does 
indeed contain 
<dbServerCmd>/usr/sbin/mysqld</dbServerCmd>
in the QMYSQL section.

strace confirms that the dbconfig.xml file is successfully opened.

Reproducing this is easy:
- start digikam
- in the preferences in the database tab, set "MySQL" as the type and check 
the "Inernal Server" checkbox. Closing the dialog with OK should already show
the problem.
