[Digikam-users] Question to users of my PPA with Digikam for Ubuntu.

[Philip Johnsson]

Antonio,

Yes you can but that is a Linux Mint problem and not a Ubuntu problem.
Linux Mint use Pin-Priority to lock out what it considers unstable or
experimental packages sources. This is used in Debian too to hold back
packages in stable from installing packages from Debian unstable or
experimental. Ubuntu work a bit different with its release cycles. Why
Linux Mint do as it does I don't know as it's based on Ubuntu otherwise and
I'm not that used to changing Pin-Priority and Launchpad sources are listed
as 500.

I haven't tried it as I don't have to but try to install digikam with
apt-get and the -t unstable parameter; "sudo apt-get -t unstable install
digikam". That might work on Linux Mint and works on Debian if you want
install some special package from Debian unstable on Debian stable and
dependecies. If that doesn't work I think you have to ask in the Linux Mint
community how they handled package sources with higher Pin-Priority.

Hope that helps.

Philip
