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

[Philip Johnsson]

run the following in a terminal:

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

This is rather strange but what we want to know is what package(s) outside
digikam packages that is in conflict with digikam 4.5 that makes it hold
back and stay with digikam 4.0.
