Look at your ~/.config/digikamrc file for references to your strange
location. Probably just edit that manually, copy your digikam4.db (and
related!) files, and move those files in a Backup directory to ensure
you don't refer to them.
that should do the trick. for me i see:
grep Pictures ~/.config/digikamrc
Database Name=/home/teuben/Pictures/
Database Name Face=/home/teuben/Pictures/
Database Name Similarity=/home/teuben/Pictures/
Database Name Thumbnails=/home/teuben/Pictures/
Last Image Path=/home/teuben/Pictures/
My db files is pretty big, rebuilding it from scratch would probably
need an overnight run.
