Hi cascagrossa my workaround for this problem is (until the packages gets updated) : Please care, that you do make a copy of all "productive" files before overwriting them!!!
- download source-code from exiv2-Homepage (http://www.exiv2.org/exiv2-0.17.1.tar.gz) (Hint: Do NOT store it on a NTFS-Partition, it will not compile correctly. It took me some days to find out!!) - gunzip exiv* ; tar xvf * - cd exiv2-0.17.1 - ./configure --prefix $HOME/exiv2-0.17.1 - make ; make install - save /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.4 (it's a symlink) - copy new library (via sudo or as root): cp $HOME/exiv2-0.17.1/lib/libexiv2.so.4.0.1 /usr/lib -save old binary (/usr/bin/exiv2), and - copy new binary cp $HOME/exiv2.017.1/bin/exiv2 /usr/bin start digikam, it will now start up correctly, and show all pictures correctly. When starting digikam on a console, you'll see the failures, which probably have caused the crash of the buggy exiv2 (0.17). Even a lot of exiv-informations are displayed in digikam (I did not check, if some infos are missing). --- snip --- Warning: Directory ImageSubIfd0 has an unhandled next pointer.
