-Workaround:
Grep the current beta (Ver 2.0.5) from:
http://www.cqrlog.com/files/beta/cqrlog_20170720_amd64.tar.gz which works fine.

Thanks,

Since there is not much activity regarding this bug, it could easily be solved by simply replacing this package by the one distributed on launchpad (https://launchpad.net/~ok2cqr/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+sourcepub/8146390/+listing-archive-extra)
:-)
Thanks again,

 Chris

  radio types and models), DX cluster connection, HamQTH/QRZ callbook
  (XML access), a grayliner, internal QSL manager database support and a most
  accurate country resolution algorithm based on country tables developed by

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirm this. Get the same error. After start of cqrlog there is a messagebox:
"Error during connection to database: TMySQL56Connection can not work with the installed MySQL client version: Expected (5.6), got (5.7.19)."

Its not a crash but the application does not open after that. Using the package from the ppa fixes it for me.
