I am unable to install digikam since I tried to compile from source.<br>I will list the steps I took below.<br>If anyone can help me to get digikam back up and running, I'd be very appreciative.<br><br>I had digikam2 installed and working from the PPA under 11.04<br>
I reported a bug, and was offered help if I could run from the latest git version.<br>So I uninstalled the digikam2 package and I cloned the digikam2 source onto my home partition using git.<br>I tried to compile, but I didn't have all the correct dependencies.<br>
I started installing dependencies 1 by 1 using the method on this page: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=718183">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=718183</a><br>After about 6 dependencies, I decided there had to be a better way.<br>
I found this page: <a href="http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/dependencies">http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/dependencies</a><br>I tried running 'sudo apt-get build-dep digikam2', but it failed with errors. I guess (and only guess) that it was because of the packages I had installed manually.<br>
I don't know how to resolve dependency conflicts. I don't know how to force a package to install.<br>I gave up trying to install from source and decided to install from the repository again, but now this fails with dependency errors too.<br>
I left it for a while and tried to muddle through using gwenview.<br>Today I upgraded to 11.10.<br>Digikam still won't install.<br>When I try to install 'digikam' from the repository, I get the following error:<br>

<br>From the look of it, it might be worth mentioning that I was subscribed to the kubuntu backports ppa, and updated to latest kde before the distro upgrade to 11.10<br><br>Based on this, is anyone able to help me? I miss digikam!<br>
