I am scared now that if Digikam updates via the PPA as I would wish, then my several years of developing a photography workflow for Digikam will be lost. So I have to be content with a semi-working version and remove the PPA. DK 5.4 works, but has the double menu, DK 5.5 appimage is totally broken even on Ubuntu 16.04.
