serious problem with upgrade to ubuntu 9.10q

[Mary Strimel <mary strimel gmail com>]

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.
Mary
