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

[Philip Johnsson]

Tom,

Then we know you have the PPAs but that digikam 4.5 is held back by
conflicting packages.

To find out why it's held back you can try to install digikam 4.5 and you
will have information on what packages is not installing that digikam 4.5
is dependent on. Probably some KDE package.

Try this command and see what it say is not going to be installed and try
to install that package and so on to follow a chain of conflicting
packages.

"sudo apt-get install digikam=4:4.5.0-trusty~ppa1kde414"

/Philip
