[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#763590: digikam: Updated digikam crashes on encountering *.7z files

[Johannes Graumann]

Package: digikam
Version: 4:4.3.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading digikam and starting it from console, digikam crashes with the following:
PROMPT> digikam 
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QString)
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QString)
QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'ConnectionTest' is still in use, all queries will cease to work.
digikam(9849)/KEXIV2: Cannot load metadata from file   (Error # 11 :  <MYDIRCTORY>/<SOMEFILE>.7z: The file contains data of an unknown image type 
digikam(9849)/KEXIV2: Cannot load metadata using Exiv2   (Error # 11 :  <NYDIRECTORY>/<SOMEFILE>.7z: The file contains data of an unknown image type 
digikam: Fatal IO error: client killed
KCrash: Application 'digikam' crashing...
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi from kdeinit

Assertion 'pa_close(fds[0]) == 0' failed at pulsecore/core-util.c:2516, function pa_close_pipe(). Aborting.
Unable to start Dr. Konqi

After moving the offending <MYFILE>.7z out of the local library, digikam comes around to being normal:
PROMPT> digikam 
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QString)
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QString)
QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'ConnectionTest' is still in use, all queries will cease to work.

As compared to the former version, this represents a reduction in functionality.

Sincerely, Joh
