[Digikam-users] DigiKam won't open from desktop menu

I installed digikam from the Add/Remove software feature of the advanced
desktop menu. I just did a search and even manually checked the list of
packages and libexiv2 is not listed.

When installing the digiKam package I didn't install libkipi-devel,
digikam-devel or digiKam-doc, because I assumed they were for developers.
Could libexiv2 be in one of those?
