I run the PPA on Mint 17 Cinnamon and it works fine, I did not have
to change any priority. I am no expert but if there is anything I
can test to help you please let me know.<br>

Yes you can but that is a Linux Mint problem and not a
Ubuntu problem. Linux Mint use Pin-Priority to lock out
what it considers unstable or experimental packages
sources. This is used in Debian too to hold back packages
in stable from installing packages from Debian unstable or
experimental. Ubuntu work a bit different with its release
cycles. Why Linux Mint do as it does I don't know as it's
based on Ubuntu otherwise and I'm not that used to
changing Pin-Priority and Launchpad sources are listed as
500.<br>
<br>
</div>
I haven't tried it as I don't have to but try to install
digikam with apt-get and the -t unstable parameter; "sudo
apt-get -t unstable install digikam". That might work on
Linux Mint and works on Debian if you want install some
special package from Debian unstable on Debian stable and
dependecies. If that doesn't work I think you have to ask in
the Linux Mint community how they handled package sources
with higher Pin-Priority.<br>

Hope that helps.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I would take advantage of this topic for a
question out of it, related to the issue I am having (and
it seems to be general) using your PPA in Mint 17.1 KDE
version. It seems that for a priority question (sorry for
my non technical words) your PPA is not used instead of
repository version which is now 4.0.0. Could it be safe
the use of some methods I found online to force the system
to use your PPA. Have you any other simpler suggestion?
Many thanks in advance for possible asnwer and sorry for
the intrusion.<span><font color="#888888">

</span><span>1. Thanks, I really
appreciate your time and hard work
spent on it.<br>
2. Personally, I have had an
'interruption' in my current use
DK<br>
because libraw in Ubuntu is so old
and doesn't support newer cameras<br>
especially the X-Trans from Fuji.<br>
<br>
I would prefer: "updated
dependency packages as possible"<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
