Re: Failed attempt to upgrade in Ubuntu Edgy

Hi Roger,

Here is the output from my f-spot database.
bengt lappis:~$ file /home/bengt/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db 
/home/bengt/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db: SQLite database (Version 3)

Do you start f-spot with parameter -basedir ?

If the photos.db is empty, perhaps just remove it totally and restart
f-spot would do the trick.

/Bengt

p.s.
I cc the list, for records...
