Bug Description

F-spot works fine the first time it is run, I can import, browse,
add tags etc. However as soon as I quit it, it will no longer run the
next time, instead it crashes giving this message:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
set to an instance of an object
in <0x001e5> PhotoStore:Query (System.String query)
in <0x005b4> PhotoStore:Query (.Tag[] tags, .DateRange range)
in <0x0002c> FSpot.PhotoQuery:.ctor (.PhotoStore store)
in <0x006fe> MainWindow:.ctor (.Db db)
in <0x00039> FSpot.Core:get_MainWindow ()
in <0x00018> FSpot.Core:Organize ()
in <0x00559> Driver:Main (System.String[] args)

When I delete/move the file .gnome2/f-spot/photos.db it will start
again, but then, of course, all my sorting is gone.

It would be great to get debugging info by building this with debugging on, and running it with mono --debug. I'll try & provide a .deb for you to test with all debugging enabled

Upstream reports that this is fixed with mono 1.13.4, which has just hit dapper. Could you retry with that version & see if the crash is still there?

I can not recreate this with mono 1.13.4.

But the old photos.db is still broken. :(

Please explain how you can both 'not recreate this' & have photos.db broken?

I am 90% sure this is the cause. Could the MOTUs please bring the latest release to dapper drake? It's supposedly fixed in there.

Working on 0.1.11 packaging now, will set sqlite3 as default DB if none exists already. This will solve most new problems, and a future f-spot upload will do the migration from sqlite 2 to 3 automatically if needed, and if the libs are both there.
