5.3 philip5 packages vs. 5.4 app image (Re: Digikam 4.14.0 -> 5.3.0 - big update, some questions)

[Philip Johnsson]

Those icons shouldn't be missing as they are part of breeze icons for kde
and are global system files and not just digikam files.

Just a wild shot but could you start digikam 5 from my PPA in english and
see if that by any chance effect the icons? As my PPA combine installation
of both digikam 4 and digikam 5 on the same system there might be strange
things happening with the shared translation (mo-files) files between the
two versions. Maybe that could give odd effects like this with different
language?
