I have seen this crash some time ago. The cause was a messup of exiv2 and/or 
libkexiv2 and/or digikam, I do not remember.
When installation of kdegraphics3 triggers your problem, then likely something 
gets installed (libkexiv2? Plugins?) that is then used with binaries that 
were compiled against another version of exiv2. It must be something related 
to your setup in the home directory.
