[digiKam-users] Can't import from iPhone: 'Libgphoto2 error: Unspecified error'

[blastingagent at endballistik.de]

Hello!

I have a problem with importing pictures from my iPhone X. When I try to 
import photos, it says "No item selected (0 items)" and then after some 
time "Ready", but shows no photos.

The log states an unspecified libgphoto2 error.
I'm on Ubuntu 20.4 LTS, the same happens with the via apt installed 
version 6.4 and the 7.3 appimage; the iPhone is on iOS 14.7.1 .

Sometimes, seemingly random, it works and the photos are being loaded. I 
didn't yet find a pattern on when or why it works sometimes.

Any help is appreciated!
