digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libjack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

digikam fails to start and gives the error message “digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libjack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory” My system is Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230603 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 Kernel Version: 6.3.4-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4600 digikam 8.0.0-3.2 pipewire-libjack-0_3 0.3.71-3.1 My system uses pipewire for audio and there is a file /usr/lib64/pipewire-0.3/jack/libjack.so.0. I created a symlink /usr/lib64/libjack.so.0 (pointing to /usr/lib64/pipewire-0.3/jack/libjack.so.0) and now digikam starts without problems. However I do not know if my “workaround” will not cause any other (yet unknown to me) problems in the future operation of digikam.
Other apps are broken too, blender for example. It helps to start them with 'pw-jack blender', but for example for qjackcontrol or qsampler it helps them to start, but they don't work properly anyway.
This bug report is a consequence of: <https://forums.opensuse.org/t/digikam-fails-to-start-with-error-while-loading-shared-libraries-libjack-so-0/166682> I found that using pipewire to the exclusion of pulseaudio, without pipewire-libjack-0_3 installed, KDE3 system sounds cannot be made to work in 15.5. I have yet to determine if this applies also in TW.
Already reported for mpd. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1211926 ***
