Well this was merely an exercise. Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Most likely won’t be using Digikam in anger, particularly on E-OS.
Not certain if all the convolution wasn’t an entry test to see if I was worthy. Don’t understand why this isn’t just a sudo apt-get install thingy, or hey install the latest version from the applications interface, but I definitely know enough about Linux in general to be dangerous.
I had the same issue with GIMP. It was a little easier to get the latest installed.
