[Digikam-users] Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

The error from when you start digikam suggest that something is missing
when it comes to KDE runtime files. Try to install the package
"kdelibs5-data" and see if that helps.

And yes you need some base packages as both i386 packages and amd64
packages to get 32bit compatibility. sqlite3 is one of those packages.
Therefore installed both i386 and amd64 versions of it as suggested by the
error message when you tried to update them.
