Comment 13 for bug 2000718

Agreed. The bug should be fixed in digiKam 8.1.0, which I see is in the Mantic Minotaur (23.10) repository. I suspect it's a matter of waiting for that to be released. I would re-open this bug report against Lunar, but I can't work out how.

Meanwhile, if you want to get digiKam working, you could download an AppImage of 8.1.0 and run that. The repository is linked from the release announcement:

For instructions on running an AppImage see https://appimage.org/ or many articles and blog posts.
