Cannot see photos in Digikam: suspect libmarble conflict

[Dotan Cohen]

Several months ago I installed the then-latest Digikam (0.10.x) on the
wife's computer. It was found that that version of Digikam would not
work with the version of libmarble then installed: 4.3.0. Downgrading
to libmarble 4.2.2 allowed Digikam to once again show the photos.

We have now updated the system again, and Digikam 1.0.0 beta3 is
installed. Once again, we cannot see the photos. However, this time I
am unable to downgrade libmarble: doing so removes digikam.
Additionally, I cannot seem to reinstall digikam without upgrading
libmarble first. What can we do?


I am using Kubuntu 9.04 with the KDE 4.3 PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~digikam-experimental/+archive/ppa

After fighting with this, I also installed the digikam-experimental
PPA but since it does not provide libmarble it did not make any
difference in our ability to see the photos:
https://launchpad.net/~digikam-experimental/+archive/ppa

Please advise on how to get the pictures shown. Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just update your libmarble? I also installed KDE 4.3 from the
kubuntu backports ppa and I can see pictures in the digikam packaged. Did you
run digikam in gdb to see which component is causing the problem?

This ppa is terribly outdated, you better delete it.

I did try that, but it is the upgraded version of libmarble that
prevents us from seeing the pictures in Digikam. See this post, in
which some guy named "Tobias Schula" :) correctly suggests that I
downgrade libmarble to see the photos:

I don't even know how to do that. Let's see, I run gbd, type
"digikam", and what then?

I see that in the post I mentioned earlier that even then you
suggested to not use that PPA. I will disable it again, but it was not
the problem as the problem occured _before_ I added it (adding it was
an attempt at a solution).

Thanks!

Browsing TFA I see in another thread that one had to rebuild Digikam
in order to get it to show photos. Is there a way to avoid that? I
have had the worst of luck building Digikam in the past, us silly ME
majors are cursed when it comes to CS issues.

Try this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports it
has KDE 4.3.0,  Digikam 1.0.0 beta3 and Amarok. It works for me on my
Kubuntu Jaunty.

That PPA is enabled, it I was supposed to be the first one listed in
my original mail. I accidentally copied the digikam-experimental PPA
twice.

I cannot seem to download from there. Is there another place that you
could upload it? Thanks!

Thank you Bruno, that .deb works fine with the current version of
libmarble, 4.3.0. Might I ask you how you created that package, so
that I might be able to create one in the future? If it was all
command line, then even just seeing your history file would help me
learn. Thanks!
