There are a couple of possibilities here:
1. You have the latest released version of digikam, and the fix is only in the 
development (SVN) version. In this case, if you *need* the fix, you have 
three options:
	a) Wait for the next stable version, working around the bug in the meantime.
	b) Ask the developers to backport the fix to the stable version (or backport 
it yourself), and then ask your distributor to produce an updated package.
	c) Compile the SVN version yourself.

2. You don't have the latest version of digikam, and a later released version 
has the fix. In this case, either ask your distributor to make a package of 
the later released version, or do c) above, but with s/SVN/later released 
version/

Philip
