[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#759517: Info received (Bug#759517: Info received (digikam: When starting digikam it searches for new pictures and then nothing more happens.))

Hi

I've just solved this bug or at least identified the culprit. It's 
Gstreamer.

So what I did:

apt-get install phonon-backend-vlc
dpkg -r  phonon-backend-gstreamer:amd64

in systemsettings, the phonon engine was automatically switched to the 
only one available, VLC.

And now digikam starts normally.

I believe it's linked to this bug: 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760663

and they say that next phonon package update should fix it. In the 
meanwhile, using another backend is a good workaround.

regards
