[Digikam-users] Can't install 4.13

[Philip Johnsson]

In any kde application like Digikam you can go into the Help menu and check
the version in About KDE. If your KDE version of the basefile Digikam have
been updated to KDE 4.14 then you need to add my kubuntu-backports PPA and
use both it and my "extra" PPA as you have done before.
