[Digikam-users] kubuntu question related to digikam

[Oliver Dörr]

Hi Gandalf,

i'm also a Kubuntu User. I don't have the trouble with the dependecies, 
but i uninstalled also all dependencies and installed all software 
afterwards directly from the source code.

Using my way, Kubuntu does not know about the whole complex and leaves 
the system as it is.
