[Digikam-users] digikam for xubuntu

[David King]

You can download the deb file for the latest Digikam from the website 
and just install it, although you should uninstall the old version first.

I am using Ubuntu Studio 14.04 which came with Digikam 3.5, but I 
downloaded 4.0 from the website and am now using that. I did not have to 
compile anything.

You will probably also need to update some of the dependencies as well, 
again from the website check and get the latest deb files for them.
