[Digikam-devel] digikam4.db fails to load

[jan]

Digikam was not responding so I manually killed the process, now when I
start digikam I get a dialog with this message:

  The schema updating process from version 4 to 5 failed, caused by an
  error that we did not expect. You can try to discard your old database
  and start with an empty one. (In this case, please move the database
  files "digikam3.db" and "digikam4.db" from the directory
  "/home/jan/Pictures".) More probably you will want to report this
  error to the digikam-devel at kde.org mailing list.  As well, please have
  a look at what digiKam prints on the console.


This is what is printed on the console when the dialog is shown:

  KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a
   valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means
   you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component
   was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
  QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'ConnectionTest' is
   still in use, all queries will cease to work.

   
Using version 1.9.0 on a fedora based system.

Can someone suggest what I might try doing to resolve the situation
without discarding the database?

Thanks.
