Hi Philip,
I'm using your PPA with Kubuntu 14.04 and I'm also having trouble with an 
upgrade to KDE 4.13.97 wanting to remove digikam.

Attempting the upgrade with aptitude full-upgrade gives this:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libnepomukquery4a : Depends: libkdecore5 (= 4:4.13.3-0ubuntu0.1) but 
4:4.13.97-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2 is to be installed.
 libmarblewidget18 : Depends: libastro1 (= 4:4.13.3-0ubuntu0.1) but 
4:4.13.97-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2 is to be installed.
 libnepomukutils4 : Depends: libkdecore5 (= 4:4.13.3-0ubuntu0.1) but 
4:4.13.97-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2 is to be installed.
                    Depends: libkdeui5 (= 4:4.13.3-0ubuntu0.1) but 
4:4.13.97-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2 is to be installed.
 libnepomuk4 : Depends: libkdecore5 (= 4:4.13.3-0ubuntu0.1) but 
4:4.13.97-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2 is to be installed.
               Depends: libkdeui5 (= 4:4.13.3-0ubuntu0.1) but 
4:4.13.97-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Remove the following packages:                                       
1)     digikam                                                            
2)     kipi-plugins                                                       
3)     libkgeomap1                                                        
4)     libmarblewidget18                                                  
5)     libnepomuk4                                                        
6)     libnepomukquery4a                                                  
7)     libnepomukutils4
