[Digikam-users] Crashes in many circumstances

[Jan Wolter]

I think it would be a good idea to switch to the newest stable version 
4.4.0, since the problems concerning libexiv2 are fixed there. To solve 
the sqlite problem, you could download the newest *.deb files (you need 
sqlite3 and libsqlite3-0) from the upcoming Ubuntu release and install 
them with dpkg.

Best regards,
Jan
