Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty

Tue May 9 21:20:49 BST 2017

I would try something like this:

sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt remove digikam5-data --purge

AND / OR

sudo rm /usr/share/metainfo/org.kde.digikam.appdata.xml

I think you simply forgot to remove the correct packages and one PPA.

Can you verify if there is some PPA listed on System Configurations >>
Software and Updates >> Others ?
