For the records, I think I have understood what went wrong here.

It seems my usage of git-annex was incorrect, and the DB file got reased and replaced by a much earlier version of the file when I used git annex lock, without a warning (AFAIU), which means that it suddenly got reverted to before the migration from V6 to V7.

So appart from no warning from digikam on a read-only DB, I'm all guilty for what happened.

Sorry about the bothering
