Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty

[Erick Moreno]

Philip, thank you again :)

Will you keep calling the package digikam5? Since Ubuntu official repo is
on the 5.x versions, this different name is still necessary?

James, if you want to run digikam 5.4 right now, try:


sudo apt remove digikam digikam5
sudo apt autoremove
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:philip5/extra
sudo apt update
sudo apt install digikam


I *think* that this will install digikam 5.4 from official repos whithout
any issues.
