This is because your digikam/kipi is Qt5 based while the kipiplugin_imgur.so
is Qt4 based. Qt5 and Qt4 are binary incompatible and opening one plugin
from the other will crash.

If you've compiled digikam/kipi yourself, be sure to clean your install dir
from
all kipi/Qt4 plugins. If this got installed by your distro, please notify
your distro
of a conflict.

Finally, perhaps the kipi plugins should either ship with some json metadata
that should be checked upon loading (this is actually very very useful for
just
loading the list of plugins and their names or other properties without
opening
the whole so file --> fast "Share" menu build up) or some other kinds of
filtering
should be done by kipi to ensure that Qt4 files are not loaded.

Cheers
