To their defense (and not only Ubuntu's), updating to a newer Digikam version<br>
might imply upgrading a large part of the KDE packages: OpenSuse has Digikam<br>
1.2.0 in the default installation, with the corresponding KDE version.<br>
I can get the newer versions of Digikam, by using other, potientially less<br>
stable repositories (KDE 4.5 for Digikam 1.7.0, and KDE 4.6 for DK 1.8.0).<br>
That's not really a fault of OpenSuse, nor of Digikam/KDE.<br>
<br>
So for us it's easy to say "Lousy distributors, can't even upgrade my<br>
favourite program straight away". BUT, they have the obligation to make sure<br>
that such an upgrade doesn't break someone else's favourite program....<br>
