For 'reasons' I did a clean install of Debian Bookworm and then copied
my dK database from backup. I then compiled digiKam 8.2.0 from source.
All looks good except when double-clicking on a thumbnail to get a
preview I'm getting the message: 'Failed to load image'.
I've checked the image and it is on disk and all ok. I can view it with,
e.g. geeqie.
This is happening with all images.
With logging turned on I can see the following message in the log:
digikam.general: Try to get preview from
"/store/media/images/2023/11/30/athome - loaf32 -- Thu 30Nov2023

digikam.general: Preview quality: 2
digikam.dimg: "/store/media/images/2023/11/30/athome - loaf32 -- Thu

digikam.general: Cannot extract preview for
"/store/media/images/2023/11/30/athome - loaf32 -- Thu 30Nov2023
070408.jpg"
digikam.general: Stacked View Mode : 1
I've tried running the Appimage and it's fine, which makes me think
perhaps I missed a dependency compiling it from source?
