--- Comment #12 from caulier.gil...@gmail.com --- Looking to your system and version listed previously, all is very old now. This is not new from Ubuntu packaging which is weird at all. Also the new Snap bundle is really a worse. It work for simple and small applications, but with something like digiKam which require to access to host system to delegate operations, this is a very bad solution. For other Linux system which use FlatPak, It's the same. Bad design, no check of the real needs from applications developers. For ex, Kate editor team left this king of packaging, because it's impossible to run the application at all, or with to decrease the usability. This is why we started to work since many years now with AppImage bundle. It's more simple and do not limit at all the access to the host system, excepted if the user want to set this (it's the inverse with Snap and FlatPak and then...) The AppImage bundle host all the libraries for the application and is open to the system. All bundled libraries are _up_to_date_, compared to the Ubuntu stuff... AppImage is just a file to make executable and run. It decompress in memory a file system with a chrooted Linux hierarchy file system. Nothing is installed, only the application settings is written to your home directory, as the native version. AppImage is not perfect, it had few limitation, but at least, digiKam work as expected at 85% inside. The advantage to the bundle solution is that we update it every day with last changes performed in source code. It's very suitable to check step by step fixes and improvements. Voilà, as Maik said previously, before to run digiKam 7 instead 6, backup your database, as the internal schema is upgraded. If you go back to digiKam 6, a new database schema will not compatible.
