OK, this corresponds to your originial error message.
It seems that when installing digikam, libkexiv2 was installed
(as also the output of ldd suggests),
but somehow the dependency of libkexiv2 on libexiv2
was not taken into account.
Could you try to install libexiv2 in the same way you
installed digikam?
