[Digikam-users] Re: DigiKam compilation instructions

[Erick Moreno]

Hevï,

In my system, I have exiv2 0.19 installed.
But I think that this ppa repository will not change your exiv2 installed
version, since it is grater than the one shipped in the repository.

Try update the Digikam, I don't believe that this will downgrade your exiv2.
If this happens, you can always upgrade your exiv2 again =/

Cheers
Erick Moreno
