I tried to upgrade from the previous stable version (0.9.4) which has bug 286876 and is supposed to be removed soon. Unfortunately the new stable version (0.9.5-r1) shows the splash screen for a split-second then segfaults: unix> digikam KCrash: Application 'digikam' crashing... KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly. To make matters worse, I then tried downgrading back to the previous version: media-libs/libkexiv2-0.1.8-r1 media-libs/libkdcraw-0.1.4-r2 media-gfx/digikam-0.9.4 And it's still segfaulting. Any idea what the problem may be? Do you want the strace?

A guess 1: You didn't follow the instructions printed by media-libs/jpeg upgrade. # emerge jpeg to show them, basically: revdep-rebuild -L libjpeg.so.62 A guess 2: You didn't follow the instructions printed by x11-misc/shared-mime-info upgrade. # emerge shared-mime-info to show them. In other issues, http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml A gdb backtrace is required. Reopen if required (with the backtrace, and debugging symbols.)
I always run revdep-rebuild after emerging world so I guess it was (2). After I ran that a ton of stuff was broken including KDE. Fortunately kde4 must have been marked stable the last week, so I upgraded to that, with new digikam, and the problem is resolved. Kiitos!
