If you want a more up-to-date package for Ubuntu, the place to look is
Launchpad.  For instance:

https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/extra

...has digikam 1.8 compiled for Ubuntu Maverick.  I'm not the owner of the
packages, but I've been using them for some time and haven't had any
problems.  If you run:

*sudo apt-add repository ppa:philip5/extra*
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

..that will (i) add that package source to the list on your system, (ii)
update the list of available packages, (iii) upgrade all your packages
(including those of digikam) to the latest version.
