After upgrading to DK 8.6 no images can be opened in my collection

[Maik Qualmann]

This UUID file can be used by all clients; we only had a bug with a 8.x.x 
version where we kept creating a new UUID. This UUID has been used since 
digiKam-8.x.x to reliably identify a collection. What version did you upgrade 
from to digiKam-8.6.0?
It's actually quite easy to get the collection back online, but I would like 
to see a log from the terminal when digiKam starts up to identify the exact 
problem. Please create the log:
