Unfortunately build-dep digikam is not going to help you as it will 
attempt to get the dependencies for the version of digikam that is in 
the repositories which is not the one you want to build anyway.

Follow the instructions linked below and tell us what problems you have, 
with the addition of the command
export GITSLAVE=.gitslave.devel
before the command ./download-repos
