You can fix this problem temporarily by taking the following action:

1. Backup your photos.db, usually located in $HOME/.config/f-spot/photos.db
2. Install sqlite3 (apt-get install sqlite3)
3. Run: sqlite3 $HOME/.config/f-spot/photos.db
4. To find out which files are broken, do: select * from photos where date<0 - 
this will list all the photos with a negative number as the date (aka corrupt 
dates)
5. Then do: delete from photos where date<0 - this will delete all records from 
the database which reference photos with a corrupt date. F-Spot will not work 
again, but obviously won't have the affected photos in the database.
