[Digikam-devel] Re: Update schema version 4 to 5 failed - "connection 'ConnectionTest' is still in use"

[Helmut Steeb]

Hi,

thanks for quick reply!

The error appeared from nowhere. I have no idea why digikam would update
its schema from 4 to 5 right now.

I upgraded digikam a month ago:

  dpkg.log.1:2010-12-27 13:26:03 upgrade digikam 2:1.2.0-0ubuntu2
2:1.4.0-0ubuntu1

... but it still worked without a problem (database time-stamp is
2011-01-13).

The database is ca. 3MB, 11K files. I guess that's too much to send?
I have no valuable info in there (except some 30 ratings and some test
tags).
I have no known harddisk problems.

I'm just shocked by the software that advices me first to throw away the
database. I've been using digiKam for years just to download images from
the camera - only this january I had a closer look to use it for
managing the images, read half of the manual :-) and added some first
ratings. Now if this happens from nowhere, I hesitate to start entering
real comments and ratings :-(

Via google I found some notice where "connection 'ConnectionTest' is
still in use..." was a bug (object de-construction), or an issue of
library incompatibility. Therefore I checked libkdcraw8 etc., but the
libraries seem current.
