[Digikam-users] How to install latest digikam on ubuntu?

[John Stumbles]

I've been advised I should try dk 2.5 instead of the 2.1.1 that's 
shipped with ubuntu 11.10 'oneiric'.

I found a 'ppa' (whatever that is) and instructions for using it at
http://www.linuxnov.com/install-digikam-2-4-0-on-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot-using-ppa/

did: apt-add-repository ppa:philip5/extra
and: apt-get update
got: W: Failed to fetch 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kde44/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources 
  404  Not Found
	E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old 
ones used instead.

and: apt-get install digikam

but when I ran digikam (2.5.0) from the console I got:

QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'ConnectionTest' is 
still in use, all queries will cease to work.

as usual, but then, after a couple of minutes of the splash screen it 
exited with:

digikam: symbol lookup error: digikam: undefined symbol: 
_ZN4KIPI21ImageCollectionSharedD2Ev

Googling this error takes me off in all different directions which looks 
like taking more time than I can currently  spare to pursue and I'd 
really appreciate a heads-up if anyone knows how I should be going about 
this.
