I am pleased to hear that 4.4 works with utopic. But I am going to very 
conservative this time around. I'll stick to whatever version works 
_and_ is included in the distribution.

To be honest, getting a working version of Digikam is the only reason 
why I'm not sticking to Trusty. It's only fair that I give some other 
software a chance at frustrating me. ;-)
