Importing images not possible

[Rüdiger Härtel]

Hello,

I created a new album in the import dialog. Digikam does not show the new
album although it is physically there (checked with ls). I can retry it and stays the same.

Then started digikam from command line and I got this output:

-----8<-----------------8<-------------------
digikam.geoiface: "ROADMAP"
digikam.general: scan mode: ScanDeferredFiles
digikam.general: total scan value :  10534
digikam.dbengine: Failure executing query:

digikam.database: Complete scan took: 816 msecs.
digikam.general: Event is dispatched through a passive pop-up

-----8<-----------------8<-------------------

I get this output now on every startup. There are also other messages with folders that I also don't see in digikam
although they are physically there. So I have the same problem with other files, too.

I ran this command: sqlite3 -line digikam4.db 'pragma integrity_check;'
It tells me the integrity_check is ok.

What else can I do to repair the database?

For completeness

$ digikam --version
digikam 5.5.0
