Dear Maintainer,

Start up digikam. On left of the window click on 'Similarity'. Select which
albums to search. Click on 'Find duplicates'. Crashes with "Fatal error".

Retry. Start up. Back to 'Similarity'. Albums are still selected. Click on
'Update all fingerprints'. Crashes with fatal error.

Retry again. Go to Tools->Maintainence->Rebuild Fingerprints->Scan for changed (faster).
Fingerprints rebuilt. Go back to Similarity->Find duplicates. Now it works.

I'm sorry that it is crashing for you.  I tried reproducing the issue but it
worked as expected: found some duplicates.

I have forwarded to digikam bug tracker; that's probably the best place to
follow-up:  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524000
