[Digikam-users] Re: Update problems

[David Vincent-Jones]

Interim feedback:

Did not yet try the latest idea but after making today's update I still
had the identical problem message.

DK does start from the terminal with "digikam" command but also signals
the following error:
"david at david-desktop:~$ digikam
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."

I will now try Philip's workaround and see what occurs.
