Could you elaborate on this? I have the same problem (Mandriva 2006, 
digikam 0.8) and can't get back into digikam anymore. I uninstalled, then 
re-installed, but still can't open digikam. I even tried an older version 
of digikam without success. The last thing I remember doing was renaming 
or adding some Albums within digikam. Once I got out, I could no longer go 
back in with the "failed to update database.." error  appearing on the 
screen. I'm able to open showphoto though.

Thanks,
Wayne
