[Digikam-users] after upgrade digikam won't start

[HaJo Schatz]

Carl mentioned already to see messages at the cli. If that doesn't solve your problem, you can move the data base out of the way, Digikam will then create a new one. Since you probably have all your tags in the exif fields of your photos, you may not even loose them. Plus, since you're on it, you can also move all your config out of the way. Digikam should also create a clean set again.
