Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty

Hi Erick,
Ok, I did those things and there were some digikam5 data files to remove. So thanks. Since then Philip has also responded and thinks that the issue should simply resolve itself now he has uploaded the correct packages to his ppa.

I am doing some updating and cleaning up before adding the repository again and trying an update/install of Digikam.

It's all very excitiong :)

I'll get back to you all.

Thanks again, fingers crossed

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 ?

Hi everyone,
Seems like I celebrated too soon.

I now can't install Digikam at all :(

Erro, previously noted in an earlier mail in this thread:

/*dpkg:* error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-CLHvhe/6-digikam_4%3a5.4.0-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb (--unpack): 

Any clues as to what I have done and what I need to do to overcome this? Looks like something has not uninstalled from last time ?/

I'm happy that the answers helped you.

From Philip last answer, I think that you can simply install digikam normally and, when the new PPA goes live, you'll just get the updates from system normal updates cycle..

So, there is no need to wait. Just:

sudo apt install digikam :)

Hi everyone,
I love it when a plan works out :)

I joined this list for a specific answer and that is exactly what I got.

Thanks Erick for your instructions. It seems I had blundered through something fairly similar myself, I installed ppa-purge and followed some online instructions however I had a lot of very old ppa's of philips, previous builds of Ubuntu, in my /apt/sources.list.d directory which were just background noise I think. Anyway, I first used ppa-purge on them all and, when that returned nothing, I simply removed them. I hope I haven't broken anything! ;)
Anyway, I have followed your instructions and that seemed to find another package digikam5* to remove and then I did the --remove ppa:philip5/extra trick :)

I presume that now I will only have to add philips repository again later to get the new builds?

Thank you also to Philip for your work. I realise that this is voluntary and I'm sure everyone that knows this appreciates it, I know I do.

All the best from a sunny North West Highlands of Scotland.

For the time being I have removed all traces of digikam <sudo apt purge digikam digikam5>

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 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.

Yes if you want to use digikam 5.4 from official ubuntu 17.04 before my update on my PPA with new packages for ubuntu 17.04 you need to purge all packages from my PPA. You can later add my PPA again when you see the new packages. Otherwise just wait maybe to later tonight or tomorrow for the packages to be available and just update as usual from my PPA for digikam 5.5 packages.

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
