Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty

[James Pirie]

Hey Philip,
Well now isn't that just the best news I've had all day :)
Sorry for my lack of patience but I do use Digikam a lot.

Is the advice to purge all evidence of previous versions of Digikam for now then and await an update?

Thanks again,

James

Hi all



I haven’t built any digikam 5 packages for Ubuntu 17.04 yet, but just started working on a build a few minutes ago. I guess you will have conflicts between my old "digikam5" packages against the "digikam" 5.4 official packages that comes with ubuntu 17.04 as my old packages are build to coexist with digikam 4.14 on the same system. The conflict with ubuntu 17.04 will hopefully be solved by my new packages. Otherwise you would have to purge my PPA from old packages on Ubuntu 17.04 until my new packages are avalible.



From ubuntu 17.04 I will drop the very old digikam 4.14 packages and when you update you will only have digikam 5.5 and releases after it. So digikam5 and digikam packages will both be the same with my PPA and Ubuntu 17.04.



Regards,



Philip

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
