[Digikam-users] Re: Any interests in Digikam 2.0 packages and digikam PPA?

[Philip Johnsson]

Have you forced natty to use maverick sources with packages some how?
Look in your source-file (either in the file /etc/apt/source.list or
with a frontend like synaptic or kpackagekit) to see that it doesn't
have something with maverick. Otherwise it should upgrade. I know it
might been some problems as of the long build cue times on launchpad
as some packages have been finished long before others which ends up
in users systems with packages from different digikam versions.
Usually there are shorter cue times and gives no problems or just for
a very short time.

If you have problems the easiest way would be uninstall, clean and
reinstall alla digikam2 stuff which include its libs too. Try the
following:

sudo apt-get remove libkdcraw-20 libkexiv2-10 libkface-1 libkmap-1

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install digikam2 kipi-plugins2 showfoto2     (and maybe
digikam2-doc kipi-plugins2-doc showfoto2-doc if you want helpfiles)

That should uninstall everything and bring digikam2 stuff with it,
clean cache and reinstall fresh new ones.

Hope that sort things out for you.
