[digiKam-users] Printing - I need help!

[Andrey Goreev]

You can try a flatpak:https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Flatpak
I think they are easy to update but they are sandboxed. 
But I would rather use the 5.9.0 appimage instead of 4.12 native ubuntu package. Digikam 4.x.x. and 5.x.x. are two completely different animals

Because it's the version in my current Xubuntu distribution, 16.04 LTS.

If I did that for everything I'd have a nightmare remembering when to
update things.  Unless Digikam can provide a means of automatically
updating itself then I'm afraid I'm stuck with the version in my
distribution.  Is there not a Digikam PPA?

That said I'll be updating to Xubuntu 18.04 LTS in the very near
future so I'll be getting a newer Digikam.
