Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty

[James Pirie]

Hi Erick,
 					Thanks for the reply.
Sadly I've tried the apt install digikam thing and I get errors:

/Unpacking digikam (4:5.4.0-0ubuntu3) ... 
*dpkg:* error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/digikam_4%3a5.4.0-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb (--unpack): 


Since my understanding of the innner workings of Linux are still in their infancy I cannot figure out what the issue is but suspect that previous versions of Digikam are interfereing with the installation? However, in contrast to that, I have previously had both version 4 and 5 installed at the same time without issues./

If Philip is in this list then perhaps he will get back to me eventually and let us know when to expect an update for Zesty which is, I think, the root of the problem.

As for the image files...well, I'm unsure of how to install using those? I donwloaded the correct file but it looks like it wants me to burn it to a CD or DVD? If I did this...what then?

Thanks for your interest in my problem though, It means a lot.

James

Hi James, 


I think that your problem is that, during the update, Ubuntu disables old repositories, and you need to re-enable them when you finish the update.


But, Digikam5 is not a Ubuntu package. 


You probably installed this package from Philip's PPA, and happens that Philip (who's in this mail list) didn't updated his PPA to zetsy yet.


So, I recommend you keep Philip's PPA disabled (for now) and just install digikam from official repository using:


sudo apt install digikam


At this moment, the last version on the offical ubuntu repositories is the 5.4. iFf you want or need a more recent version (5.5) you can download the appimage installer using the link that Martin just sent.


Regards

I'm not familiar with Ubuntu, and can't tell why DK doesn't work anymoreafter the update.

Anyway, if you need to use DK quickly and want to give it a try you cantest the appimage available at
