Package: digikam

Just upgraded from latest Debian Digikam version 4 (with database version 6). 
I set the path of my old database on first start and when Digikam opened there 
where no more albums in the interface.

After restoration of my old database and various tests, I discover that my 
album root path where "urlencoded" in previous version with all '/' replace by 
'%2F'. Whit such path, Digikam 5.1 does not recognize album root and remove 
all metadata from the database on albums refreshing.

To correct this, I had to edit with sqlitebrowser the file digikam4.db and in 
the table AlbumRoots, replace all occurence of '%2F' bay '/' in the field 
identifier. Then Digikam recognize the path an show all my albums, photo and 
associated metadata.
