hello,
I am getting a little desperate so I'm hoping there is someone who can
help. I have used f-spot continuously for about 4 years and now have
7 years worth of photos tagged in my photos.db. I backed up my
photos.db before doing a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10. F-spot now
crashes when I try to use it with the new database (the photos are
saved on a separate drive). The terminal errors are copied below. At
this point, if someone could even just explain how I can downgrade to
a prior version of f-spot that would be better than losing the tagging
entirely.
But right now I'm in a panic at losing 7 years of tags. Any help
would be much appreciated.

Whatever happens, you will not lose your tags. They are - or should be -
safe in the sqlite database (photos.db) and can if needs be applied to a
new database or another program.
Did you see this bug report?

You might want to add a comment to it. It seems like (Ubuntu's) f-spot
chokes on something in your database, possibly a file or directory name
with some unwanted character in it. In the bug report I suspect the
colon (':') in the filename - colons are allowed in unix file systems
but Windows chokes on it... maybe Mono does not like it either? That
would be a bug...
