[Digikam-users] failed to update database to new version error

[jumpingclear at yahoo.co.uk]

Sorry for not replying sooner but I just noticed your message.

I am running kubuntu which uses debian apt-get package management rather  
than mandriva's rpm. I uninstalled digikam through apt and then ran  
"locate digikam". I delted  any serious files left ie files ending in .db  
or similar - there may be icons etc that don't matter. I then just  
reinstalled 0.8.1 and it worked.

Sorry if this is a bit unspecific, I didn't note the exact files I deleted.

Hope this helps
