Bug Description

Debian Package: DigiKam
Version 9.0.0

When launching the program or importing photos, a wide yellow bar at the top indicates that Exiftool is missing.
This works fine in older versions (8.8) and other distributions (OpenSUSE Leap 16, Debian 13).
Reinstalling the package did not resolve the issue.
