              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>
            <br>
