You are refering to your distribution - but don't forget there are many others
out there. The last 4.x build for openSuse is 4.3, which crashes, while 4.2 was
working fine, but is not on the net any more. 

Therefore I repeat my Request for help: 
------------------------------------------------------------

Please inform repobuilders to check their latest digikam packages as soon as
possible, e.g. Stephan Kulow from openSuse.  I am not the only one who have NO
digikam available for a whole working day till now on several workstations:

Please be aware of the users perspective:

I use digikam in production. It is good news that the source of the bug is
known and resolved. But this DOES NOT HELP ME in the situation, where NO
working package of digikam is available at all, because my auto-update script
installed the bad release on two workstations.

It is a NO GO from user perspective, that there is no working release online, 
because the repo-builder are not informed that he/she might have build dead
software.

PS: I am fully aware that this is an openSuse issue, because  release 3.5
(stone age) is the official supported version. So I am forced to use an early
adopters releases in production without any support ... and no regular way to
contact the builder.
