Then there's probably something deeper broken, we get hardware information 
from KDE Solid which reads it from HAL (udev in the future), so if HAL fails,

Can't tell you if there's a working package. If anyone has packaged digikam on 
the build service, probably.
Note: We are at 1.7 now, seven versions after 0.10.0.
