digiKam fails to show any pictures - all albums appear empty. When starting digikam from the console, I get the following error messages: $ digikam QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'ConnectionTest' is still in use, all queries will cease to work. digikam(27455): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamtags'.

The same problem has been reported for other distributions, but the error has was related there to a wrong library version of Marble, see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28124 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.digikam.devel/61130 I have re-emerged marble and digikam, but the error persists. My program versions: digikam-2.5.0 marble-4.8.2 kdebase-kioslaves-4.8.2 kdemultimedia-kioslaves-4.8.2 . Reproducible: Always
digikam-2.5.0 works again ok after installing the new kde 4.8.3 version.
This probably was a transition problem... rebuilding something would have fixed it, we'll never find out what exactly...
