digikam Error loading 'kio_digikamalbums'

[Kaltsi]

Binary package hint: digikam

Digikam doesn't show the pictures of album.
I click one item in album tree, but the miniature frame goes empty.
If use calender preview, it is work.

[René Fritz (ubuntu-colorcube)]

I can confirm this. All other views except 'album' shows images. I tried 'digikamalbums:/' in konqueror which fails too.

I reinstalled kdebase-kio-plugins and digikam which didn't help.

[Chris Samuel (chris-csamuel)]

I can confirm that I am seeing the same behaviour with digikam 2:0.9.3-1 on Kubuntu Hardy Heron (AMD64 version), currently up to date.

[Olivier (olivier-lacroix)]

Same here. That makes digikam pretty useless in hardy.

[Olivier (olivier-lacroix)]

Solved with today's update. Great !

Marking as fix released.

[Chris Samuel (chris-csamuel)]

Confirming fixed here too - thanks!

[Kaltsi (kaltsi)]

I can confirm that, it works fine - thanks

[Brendan (mailinglist-endosquid)]

Not fixed here. What did I miss?

Could not open library '/usr/lib/kde3/kio_digikamalbums.la'.
libexiv2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Brendan (mailinglist-endosquid)]

Installing exiv2 older version 0.15 solved the exiv2.so.0 error message, but the kio_digikamalbums.la message is still there and the albums/pictures do not show up...

[Achim Bohnet (allee)]

Hi Brendan,
digikam work without problems here. if checked an dist-upgraded hardy
(i386) still no problem. As it's a different problem (complain about lib
instead of URL) can you open a new bug report, please?
Just to make sure nothing is kept open: logout/login and retry.

Add to the new report your architecure and the output digikam writes
to konsole.

  dpkg -l digikam "*kipi*" "*exiv2*" "*dcraw*" | grep ^i

Alternatively install reportbug and add the '--system information' part of
the output from

  reportbug --template digikam

to the new bug report.

Thx,
Achim

Try the
whereis libexiv2.so
whereis kio_digikamalbums.la
command.

[Brendan (mailinglist-endosquid)]

Hmmmmmm, didn't find it, so I did another after:

[root@natacha] ~: whereis libexiv2.so
libexiv2: /usr/local/lib/libexiv2.la /usr/local/lib/libexiv2.so /usr/local/lib/libexiv2.a
[root@natacha] ~: whereis kio_digikamalbums.la
kio_digikamalbums:

[root@natacha] ~: locate kio_digikamalbums.la
/usr/lib/kde3/kio_digikamalbums.la
/usr/local/lib/kde3/kio_digikamalbums.la

UPDATE****************
Bug seems to have magically gone away with the digikam update of March 31. Awesome. Everything works again!
Thank you.

[Achim Bohnet (allee)]

Mhmm, my last digikam update only disabled debug output. I doubt that this is
related but I'm happy to hear that it works now.

@Brendan: When it happens again: The problem was/is with your self installed stuff
below /usr/local: e.g. /usr/local/lib/kde3/kio_digikamalbums.la. Clean up stuff related to
*kipi*, *exiv2*, *dcraw*. below /usr/local when you run into trouble again.

Thank you for the input, but that couldn't have been the issue.
This problem happened before I did any compiling and installing
under /usr/local, on two machines even. This was an issue I tracked and
debugged for a week solid, because, as a photographer, I can't live without
digikam.

I reinstalled, removed /usr/local, recompiled, added libraries, did a fresh
install of Hardy, everything. For some reason, this past update solved it. I
have no idea why if there was just disabling debug. Weird. Thank you anyway.

[Achim Bohnet (allee)]

Your problem was:

Could not open library '/usr/lib/kde3/kio_digikamalbums.la'.
 libexiv2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've check the .la files here and found no reference to libexiv2.so.0.

In fact in hardy libexiv2-2 pkg is used everywhere and replace/conflicts
with libexiv2-0. So on a (new) hardy system there should be no
reference to -0 in the pkgs. That's why I assumed that stuff from
/usr/local/ was guilty. Maybe it was not /usr/local, maybe something
else, but it looks that it's gone. Good ;)

All praise random behavior. It's the kind of thing that makes you wary of
complex packages. I'm just thankful that you guys are so on top of bug
reports. Makes me feel good. Thanks again.

This bug appears to have returned in 9.10. I'm having the exact same issue. All albums appear empty and I get this appearing in the terminal output:

I get this in my .xsession-errors:
