OK I am getting libkipi8 with package version name 4:4.7.4-oneiric~ppa2, 
but digikam still fails to start up with the error undefined symbol: 
_ZN4KIPI21ImageCollectionSharedD2Ev

(Sorry, in my earlier message I was looking at my system where I'd 
reverted to the regular ubunto 11.10 version of digikam without your ppa 
in my sources.)

This is what happens when I try to upgrade to your 2.5 again:

......................................
root# apt-get purge digikam digikam-data

.......................................
root# apt-add-repository  ppa:philip5/extra

You are about to add the following PPA to your system:
  extra
  Ubuntu experimental rolling release repository.

Mainly assorted media apps and other programs that I use myself or by 
requests.
