           Summary: Digikam configure script misleading.
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.3.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: evorster at gmail.com


Version:           1.3.0 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Digikam 1.3.0 depends upon unreleased versions of libraries libkexiv2 and
libkdcraw. When the configure script does not find the version of the libraries
it needs, it reports the libraries missing, in stead of too old.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Compile digikam 1.3.0

Actual Results:  
Misleading messages from the configure script:
-- checking for module 'libkdcraw>=1.1.0'
--   package 'libkdcraw>=1.1.0' not found
-- checking for module 'libkexiv2>=1.1.0'
--   package 'libkexiv2>=1.1.0' not found


Expected Results:  
"Your installed versions of $LIBRARY is too old, please upgrade to at least
$REQUIRED version"

It's poor form to release software as "stable" when it depends upon libraries
that have not yet been marked as stable.
