new digikam 1.6 needs Ubuntu package for maverick

Asked by filou78

Digikam is an amazing software, but the new version 1.6 needs an Ubuntu package in a repository.
Does anybody already did it from the official tarball available at www.digikam.org ?

Best

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/digikam; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade

Should do it

I added this repository, but update is impossible.

I obtained this message using sudo apt-get -y upgrade

There is a duplicated file in the deb file, dpkg doesn't like overwriting files which are in different packages as they should be seperate, you can force it by running:

sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/digikam_2%3a1.6.0-1~lffl~maverick~ppa_i386.deb

Should force it to overwrite the file and install ok.

I also suggest you contact the ppa maintainer to let him/her know that their package causes an issue with upgrading.

Thanks actionparsnip for your advice; it solved my problem when I also forced dpkg for kipi-plugins using:
sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/kipi-plugins_1.5.0-maverick~ppa1_i386.deb

Now digikam 1.6 is working fine.

I'll contact the maintainer of the package to let him know.

best,
