I got the same crash when starting digiKam from KDE.

digiKam now is up and running after I removed some of the folders to import (maybe because of the number of files?). Copying the folders back makes digiKam scan them correctly.

[Caulier-gilles-9 (caulier-gilles-9)]

This is definitively an Exiv2 shared lib issue.

You must update Exiv2 to last stable 0.18.1. Ubuntu only include 0.18.0 and crash have been fixed with new release.

Note that after to update Exiv2, libkexiv2, digiKam and kipi-plugins need to be recompiled, because binary compatibility between Exiv2 0.18.0 and 0.18.1 is not respected...

Luka : ubuntu team has already prepared new Exiv2 bin packages ?

Gilles Caulier

[Luka Renko (lure)]

Gilles: Jaunty does not have 0.18.1, as it was too late to include it. But fixes for crashers (TIFF and PNG) were backported to 0.18 version in Ubuntu 9.04.

Do you have latest exiv2 package: 0.18-1ubuntu1?

If this does not work, you could temporarily use exiv2 0.18.1 packages from my PPA:
