[Digikam-users] Digikam Crash when changing metadata (rotating, assigning flags or keywords)

[styx at ewetel.net]

Hello!

I’m new to the list, so forgive me, if this is not the right place to  
ask the question. ;-)

I’m on Kubuntu 14.04 (DigiKam 3.5) and I have a strange behavior: I  
can’t do anything with the pictures, but watch them. Every time I try  
to rotate a picture or assign a keyword or a flag, DigiKam immediately  
crashes. I attached one of the KCrash reports, but KCrash says, that  
the collected information is useless.

I had this PPA (https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/ubuntu/extra)  
added (DigiKam 4.12), but removed it again after experiencing the  
problem with the crasing DigiKam. However, the crashes also occur in  
the Ubuntu 14.04 repository version (v 3.5). Has anybody had or still  
have the same problem? Could it be related to some packages that were  
installed due to the newer version of DigiKam in the PPA and don’t  
behave well with other packages in Ubuntu 14.04?

Some hint would be very appreciated. Thank you very much!
