1.x?  AFAIK problem even happens for an 2.1.6 -> 2.2 upgrade.

Independent of BC.  There a bug somewhere.  Either BC was broken
without bumping soname of the lib or digikam does something wrong
how it loads libgphoto.

I really don't like the hackish workaround to install libgphoto2-2-dev
but I've still to learn what goes wrong.
