[Digikam-users] DigiKam on Debian

[Mick Sulley]

Thanks for the reply.  When I looked at the links I saw reference to 
backports, perfect answer I thought!  So I tried, failed, investigated 
and found that DigiKam is not included in backports for some reason.

So I have now upgraded to Jessie.  There seem to be a few differences in 
the system but at least I now have DigiKam 3.5.0

I'll see how it goes.....
