[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#405386: digikam: moving items loses tag and rating data in 0.9.0-beta3

[Brian T.N. Gunney]

Package: digikam
Version: 1:0.9.0~beta3-3
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

If you have tag/ratings data in an item in your digikam photo, and you move the 
item from one folder to another (both folders are under digikam "My Albums"),   
the item appears in the destination folder without tag/ratings data.  
And there seems to be no way to recover the data.
                                                                                
This behavior can be demonstrated with just 2 folders and moving images 
between them.

I initially reported this problem directly to digikam, but the 
developers said they could not duplicate it in the 0.9.0 final release, 
and they asked me to upgrade.  I tried but ran into to many dependencies.
Since Etch currently comes with 0.9.0-beta3 (where I saw this problem)
I thought I'd report it to Debian.

Thank you
