[Digikam-users] Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

[Mick Sulley]

I don't know if this helps but my 
/etc/apt/official-package-repositories.pref looks like this

Package: *
Pin: release o=linuxmint
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: origin packages.linuxmint.com
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: 500

Are there any other files that are relevant?  I'm happy to share my 
settings even though I don't fully understand what all of them mean :)
