Re: F-spot not working on ubuntu 15.04

Oh dear.
f-spot stores information about all the images in a database file (by
default in ~/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db for older versions of F-Spot,
and ~/.config/f-spot/photos.db for newer versions).  That file was
corrupted due to the crash.  Don't know if f-spot makes a backup
before accessing the file (have a look in the respective directories)
- if not it's time to dig out that backup you of course made...

Can't help with that - get it from whereever you got it from the first
time round...
