Thanks for the reply. When I looked at the links I saw reference to
backports, perfect answer I thought! So I tried, failed,
investigated and found that DigiKam is not included in backports for
some reason.<br>
<br>
So I have now upgraded to Jessie. There seem to be a few
differences in the system but at least I now have DigiKam 3.5.0<br>
<br>
I'll see how it goes.....<br>

What are my options? I don't necessarily need to get to the
latest version of DK but I would like to get a bit more up to
date. I don't mind upgrading to Jessie but not at all sure
about Sid.
<br>

If I upgrade to Debian Jessie which DK will I get?
<br>
Could I manually install a later version on Wheezy or will there
be dependency issues?

This is probably more of a Debian discussion than a Digikam
discussion I suppose, but it's funny that you should ask, because
I just upgraded to Jessie this morning, primarily in order to get
Digikam a bit more up-to-date (but also for all the other outdated
applications out there).
<br>
<br>
Upgrading to Jessie, Digikam was upgraded to version 3.5.0
(unrelated, the upgrade unfortunately didn't fix the problems I
were having though). I really wouldn't recommend going to Sid,
which is very experimental, unless you are absolutely certain that
it is what you want. There is some risk involved with doing a
dist-upgrade (although mine was easy enough), so be careful. I
made a complete copy of my main partition (stored to an image file
somewhere else) before the upgrade, but that may have been a
little overkill. Better safe than sorry, though.
