I think I have read others using that version and that Linux mint have some setting only to use what's considered stable sources. If you run the following command:<br><br>apt-cache policy digikam<br><br></div>Then you will get all your avalible sources of digikam and their versions. PPAs are 700 sources but I think Linux Mint LTS only allow to update 500 sources (considered stable source). I have never taken any time to check how you change this on a Linux Mint system (or Debian system) but maybe other Linux Mint users have done this. Otherwise you have to force install each package and that's not that easy as you have to know all the packages needed to update but are held back by Linux Mint LTS.<br><br></div>Regards,<br><br></div>Philip<br><div><div><br><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 1:23 AM, Mick Sulley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mick@sulley.info" target="_blank">mick@sulley.info</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">No, sorry, my methods tend to be trial and error with my fingers crossed :) I would try installing the -dev versions of packages that are involved, I believe these contain the headers that may be needed, but just guessing. You could also install digikam-dbg which contains debug stuff, if you search the forum there are instruction on how to use it.<br>
<br>
There are many knowledgeable people on this forum, hopefully someone will point you in the right direction.<br>

Thanks for trying to help Mick! I tried following what you suggested and I could get DigiKam 4.7 to install, but when I try to open it it crashes on the starting splash screen.<br>
<br>
This is the terminal display when it happens.<br>
<br>

<br>
Do you know how to fix it?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

OK I have just updated to 4.7, it was not quite straightforward :)<br>
<br>
>From past experience if you just select the upgrade you get a message that DigiKam will be removed. What I did was to search digikam in Synaptic and remove all the packages that it finds, 11 packages, disable the PPAs then run Edit>Fix Broken Packages and reload. I then enabled the PPAs and tried installing packages one at a time, running fix broken and reload after each one, some installed some didn't. After a lot of trial and error I fond that disabling the philip5/kubuntu-backports PPAs allowed me to install and I now have 4.7 up and running with just the extra PPA enabled.<br>
<br>
I don't know why this is so, perhaps if Philip reads this he could comment, but bottom line DK 4.7 is working for me.<br>
<br>
btw are you aware of the memory issue that is still around? If you do pretty much anything with face tags the memory usage just grows until the system crashes. See<br>
