I just got this version of digikam from unstable update, and upon
launch, it said it was updating the database (which is the default
sqlite in my case) from v5 to v6.  Upon finishing the upgrade,
digikam showed me all my images, and seemed fine.

I shutdown digikam and then started it again a day later, and it
said again it was "Scanning collection" and quickly popped an error
that it failed to upgrade database from v5 to v6. Upon continuing,
no images were shown in digikam.

I restored my digikam sqlite files from backups, and reproduced the
behavior -- upgrade worked, then upgrade tried to apply again on
next start and failed.

To work around the issue, I opened the digikam4.db -> Settings
table, and found DBVersion still set to 5.  I bumped it up to 6,
and digikam started OK for me, showed me my images, and I'm
importing images again -- it seems OK now.
