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

[Randy Orrison]

Hi Philip,

The only lines in sources.list that mentioned maverick were commented 
out, and in the repositories list in synaptic everything mentioning 
maverick is unticked (and says "disabled on upgrade to natty"). I went 
ahead with the removal, clean, update and re-install, and it's now 
working fine. Now to find the time to learn how to use it!

Thanks again,

Randy
