Did you use the 'add/remove software' program (Pirut) on the One to install
Digikam?  If so, try using the same route to install a package called
libexiv2 (just put that in the Pirut search bar and the full package name
will appear).  This should contain the library Digikam is looking for, so
installing it should solve the problem.
