[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#401660: digikam: Crash on startup (sometimes)

[Gregor Hoffleit]

Package: digikam
Version: 1:0.9.0~rc1-1
Severity: important

digikam 0.9.0~rc1 keeps crashing on me on startup.

It starts up fine when I empty my picture folder. It also works,
somehow, when I add some pictures to the folder. But at some point it
crashes at startup.

The crashes are *not* cleanly reproducable: I ran ltrace ten times, and
the crash always happened at a different place. The backtrace in the KDE
crash handler also may look very different each time (see below for one
example).

At first, I thought the crashes might be related to specific images, but
I was not able to find any image that triggers the crash. Sometimes it
even happened that digikam crashed on first try, but then happened to
start up fine, without any change in the picture folder.


When I see #401416, which is appearently a similar but different issue,
it seems as if digikam 0.9.0~rc1 had a severe stability problem.

Please tell me how I can help to track down the problem.

Regards,
    Gregor
