Tamas,

Ubuntu ships with different versions of digikam at different times:
http://packages.debian.org/digikam

Unfortunately karmic (oct 09) was released with digikam 1.0.0-beta5 which has
some serious issues and should of never been released by the Ubuntu team.  TO
make matters even worse, the crash was fixed shortly by the digikam team as
1.0.0-beta6, but the ubuntu team didn't upgrade and thus there are thousands of
ubuntu karmic users who have the broken digikam 1.0.0-beta5 installed .

Ubuntu have made a release of digikam 1.0.0-rc (release candidate) available
via karmic-backports, which you could install on your system, but I wouldn't
recommend that as there were fixes made between 1.0.0-rc and 1.0.0 final.

Unfortunately ubuntu have only released digikam 1.0.0 in the lucid release/.

As you have encountered there are some dependencies,  such as showfoto which
must be kept in sync.  So I would recommend you also obtain the showfoto .deb
for lucid and then install both packages.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/showfoto

As well as any other packages that are needed..

Personally I don't recommend ubuntu, I'm debian myself.
