Hi Philip
Thanks for the two suggestions. First, here's the error report when I
ran Digikam 4.0.0 from a command line:
digikam(8068)/kdeui (KIconLoader): Error: standard icon theme "oxygen"

Aborting. Check your installation. File used was: /home/tom. Expected

Not forwarding the crash to Apport.
So: I then followed your suggestion to look at Dmitri Popov's solution,
which is at:
http://scribblesandsnaps.com/2014/12/12/making-digikam-stable-on-ubuntu-14-04/
I downloaded the two packages and tried to install the first - but got
this error message (I was installing the amd64 package for my AMD64 system):
Preparing to unpack libsqlite3-0_3.8.6-1_amd64.deb ...
De-configuring libsqlite3-0:i386 (3.8.2-1ubuntu2) ...
Unpacking libsqlite3-0:amd64 (3.8.6-1) over (3.8.2-1ubuntu2) ...
dpkg: error processing package libsqlite3-0:amd64 (--install):
package libsqlite3-0:amd64 3.8.6-1 cannot be configured because
libsqlite3-0:i386 is at a different version (3.8.2-1ubuntu2)
dpkg: error processing package libsqlite3-0:i386 (--install):
package libsqlite3-0:i386 3.8.2-1ubuntu2 cannot be configured because
libsqlite3-0:amd64 is at a different version (3.8.6-1)
Errors were encountered while processing:
libsqlite3-0:amd64
libsqlite3-0:i386
So: do I need to install the i386 version as well, even though mine is a
64 bit system? Or do I ignore this and go on to install
sqlite3_3.8.6-1_amd64.deb?
Sorry - I don't pretend to be a super-user! But I do want Digikam to
work - I've been reduced to using Shotwell and am missing a lot of
features that I'd become used to in Digikam.
