It has nothing to do with image database, it's simply a libraries mismatch
issue. You can see it in the xsession-errors - "/usr/lib/libkgeomap.so.1:
undefined symbol...". That means that our library is looking for something,
which is not present in marblewidget library, but was there when the devs were
writing code using that library.

I'm not sure what advice to give you as it is a packaging/distro issue, sorry
:/

Anyway, I think if digiKam fails to load the kio libs, it /should/ inform the
user, not fail silently and let user delete their image db. Therefore I'm
marking this as a valid bug, though it's not technically digiKam's fault, but
digiKam should handle this case.
