Hi,

there is a workaround:

darktable ships an utility called "purge_non_existing_images.sh". If you
move the problematic picture to a different location and run the script
with "purge_non_existing_images.sh --purge", it will remove the data for
this image from the database because the path stored in the database
does not exist anymore.

kind regards,
Simon
