Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

[Philip Johnsson]

Tom,

Then we know you have the PPAs but that digikam 4.5 is held back by conflicting packages.

To find out why it's held back you can try to install digikam 4.5 and you will have information on what packages is not installing that digikam 4.5 is dependent on. Probably some KDE package.

Try this command and see what it say is not going to be installed and try to install that package and so on to follow a chain of conflicting packages.

"sudo apt-get install digikam=4:4.5.0-trusty~ppa1kde414"

It should display all the versions of digikam that your system have in
its resources available for apt to install. If you use both my PPAs it
should display them both as possible versions and also other older versions.

There must be something missing or conflicting when it comes to
repositories or packages.

Ho Philip

Thanks your patience. Here's the result, which I don't find very
helpful. It seems to tell me that it would like to install Digikam but
can't:

sudo apt-get install digikam=4:4.5.0-trusty~ppa1kde414
[...]

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  digikam : Depends: digikam-data (= 4:4.5.0-trusty~ppa1kde414) but
4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So, I tried these commands:

sudo apt-get install -f

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
   digikam-data libastro1 libattica0.4 libkdcraw-data libkdcraw23 libkdeui5
   libkexiv2-11 libkexiv2-data libkface-data libkface2 libkfile4
   libkgeomap-data libkgeomap1 libkhtml5 libkio5 libkipi-data libkipi11
   libkjsapi4 libknotifyconfig4 libkparts4 libktexteditor4 libmarblewidget19
   libpgf6 libsolid4 libstreamanalyzer0 libstreams0 libthreadweaver4
   marble-data
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 11 not to upgrade.

sudo apt-get autoremove

Removed:

   libkexiv2-11 libkexiv2-data libkface-data libkface2 libkfile4

   libkjsapi4 libknotifyconfig4 libkparts4 libktexteditor4 libmarblewidget19

   marble-data

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get autoclean

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoremove

... but I still get the same message after
sudo apt-get install digikam=4:4.5.0-trusty~ppa1kde414

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Sorry, I'm stuck again!

run the following in a terminal:

"sudo apt-get install digikam=4:4.5.0-trusty~ppa1kde414 digikam-data=4:4.5.0-trusty~ppa1kde414"

This is rather strange but what we want to know is what package(s) outside digikam packages that is in conflict with digikam 4.5 that makes it hold back and stay with digikam 4.0.

Hi

Thanks again! Well, there's some progress: it seemed to install 4.5.0,
so I could run the initial install process and run a scan. But then the
program just vanished again.

The installation report:

0 to upgrade, 46 to newly install, 0 to remove and 11 not to upgrade.

Here's the report when I run the command ~ $ digikam :

AFAICT the original failure to install was because the Mint repositories
had a priority of 700 which beat the 500 for the added PPAs.
I would up the priority of the PPAs then do a 'apt-get upgrade' as well
as installing kipi-plugins.

Makes me wonder why Mint use 700 for their packages like these ones....

Tom,

Your error message comes from that you don't have libexiv2 0.24 and/or libkexiv2-11 from my PPA. They should also have been updated.

Tom,

just to let you know. You need to change version numbers in those commands if you try again. Digikam 4.6.0 are now on my PPA and 4.5.0 are not longer there...

Also try if just doing a:

"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"

helps sorting things out. You need to update your sources first so you have Digikam 4.6.0 as your available packes.

Makes me wonder why Mint use 700 for their packages like these ones....

Tom,

Your error message comes from that you don't have libexiv2 0.24 and/or libkexiv2-11 from my PPA. They should also have been updated.

/Philip

AFAICT the original failure to install was because the Mint repositories had a priority of 700 which beat the 500 for the added PPAs.
I would up the priority of the PPAs then do a 'apt-get upgrade' as well as installing kipi-plugins.

This is rather strange but what we want to know is what package(s)
outside digikam packages that is in conflict with digikam 4.5 that makes
it hold back and stay with digikam 4.0.

    Ho Philip

    Thanks your patience. Here's the result, which I don't find very
    helpful. It seems to tell me that it would like to install Digikam
    but can't:

    sudo apt-get install digikam=4:4.5.0-trusty~__ppa1kde414
    [...]

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies.
      digikam : Depends: digikam-data (= 4:4.5.0-trusty~ppa1kde414) but

    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    So, I tried these commands:

    sudo apt-get install -f

    The following packages were automatically installed and are no
    longer required:
       digikam-data libastro1 libattica0.4 libkdcraw-data libkdcraw23

        Tom,

        Then we know you have the PPAs but that digikam 4.5 is held
back by
        conflicting packages.

        To find out why it's held back you can try to install digikam
        4.5 and
        you will have information on what packages is not installing that
        digikam 4.5 is dependent on. Probably some KDE package.

        Try this command and see what it say is not going to be
        installed and
        try to install that package and so on to follow a chain of
        conflicting
        packages.

        "sudo apt-get install digikam=4:4.5.0-trusty~__ppa1kde414"

I have just run the standard Update Manager on my Mint 17 with Philip's
PPA, it said that DK was to be updated to 4.6, installed the update and
it just worked fine!  Previous updates had always involved some pain in
removing and re-installing stuff to get it to work again but presumably
due to adding Phililp's "extra" PPA it now just works!  Brilliant!

so cerp, if you are running Mint it appears that you just need to add
Philip's PPA's and it will install 4.6 for you.

Regards
Mick

Thanks Mick, Phillip,

I am running mint off a USB key, tonight I add Phillip's PPA and  
install! Thanks a lot .... unfortunatey after more than 10y using  
linux both at work and at home, I am having to use Windows 7  
Enterprise for a while at work to run some windows only software. What  
a pile of .... :) .... you can do half of the things you can do with  
any linux distribution or even Mac, and it takes twice as much time

digikam is extremely painful to use and goes into "not respnding"  
after a couple of minutes, whilst when I run it from the USB key on

Hi Philip

Thanks for responding each time. Yes, there are more reports here.
First, I can say that running

sudo apt-get install digikam=4:4.6.0-trusty~ppa1kde414
digikam-data=4:4.6.0-trusty~ppa1kde414

- does install Digikam 4.6.0, but it still has the old problems - it
displays the loading screen, then disappears.

So I tried these steps:

sudo apt-get install kipi-plugins

leads to:
Unpacking kipi-plugins (4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2) ...
dpkg: error processing archive
/var/cache/apt/archives/kipi-plugins_4%3a4.0.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2_amd64.deb
(--unpack):
  trying to overwrite
'/usr/share/kde4/config.kcfg/photolayoutseditor.kcfg', which is also in
package digikam 4:4.6.0-trusty~ppa1kde414
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 
/var/cache/apt/archives/kipi-plugins_4%3a4.0.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install libkexiv2-11
produces:

libkexiv2-11 is already the newest version.
libkexiv2-11 set to manually installed.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
   kipi-plugins-common libksane-data libksane0

AND:

E: Unable to locate package libexiv2

Then I picked up the suggestion to change the priority of the software
sources, which is borne out by what I found (even though I could install
4.6.0 - but perhaps not all the necessary files?)

Here's the result of "apt-cache policy":

apt-cache policy digikam
digikam:
   Installed: 4:4.6.0-trusty~ppa1kde414
   Candidate: 4:4.6.0-trusty~ppa1kde414
   Version table:
  *** 4:4.6.0-trusty~ppa1kde414 0
         500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu/ 
trusty/main amd64 Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
      4:4.6.0-trusty~ppa1 0
         500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/extra/ubuntu/ trusty/main
amd64 Packages
      4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2 0
         700 http://packages.linuxmint.com/ rebecca/import amd64 Packages
      4:3.5.0-0ubuntu10 0
         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64
Packages

The main repositories are like this:

700 http://extra.linuxmint.com/ rebecca/main amd64 Packages
      release v=17.1,o=linuxmint,a=rebecca,n=rebecca,l=linuxmint,c=main
      origin extra.linuxmint.com

So: how to change this setting?
-------------------------

I assume I need to create a preference file in /etc/apt, along these
lines, with the priority higher than 700, so:

Package: *
Pin: origin [on the lines of: "packages.linuxmint.com" I assume?]
Pin-Priority: 800

Despite some searching on this topic, I'm still a bit confused  - and
don't want to have to keep changing the file when a new version of
Digikam or dependencies are released.

Thanks!

Tom

PS: what happens when I run

digikam - is this

digikam(5903)/kdeui (KIconLoader): Error: standard icon theme "oxygen"
not found!

Object::connect: No such signal
org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QDBusObjectPath)

Which seems to be the same as before.

Did you ever try to just do a:

"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"

The problem is your linuxmint source that is set to 700 and always will be considered to be a "stable" source and all sources like my PPA as non-stable. The mint source will be what gets installed if nothing else is forced it to do an override with packages from other sources.

700 http://packages.linuxmint.com/ rebecca/import amd64 Packages

Hi Philip

Yes; "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" didn't seem to do anything. ("0 to
upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.")

I can understand that the preferences file needs changing (and have
found out how to use Gedit to do this), but I can't quite work out the
format. I'm wondering is this is it:

Package: *
Pin: origin "http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/extra/ubuntu trusty main"
Pin-Priority: 800

Package: *
Pin: origin "http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu 
trusty main"
Pin-Priority: 800

Is that right? The bit at the end doesn't look right to me because of
the spaces, not something I'd expect in a URL.

Thanks!

Tom

I don't know if this helps but my
/etc/apt/official-package-repositories.pref looks like this

Package: *
Pin: release o=linuxmint
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: origin packages.linuxmint.com
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: 500

Are there any other files that are relevant?  I'm happy to share my

A work around might work if you temporarily disable the linux mint source and make and database update and then an dist-upgrade? If you then get to update from other "non-stable" sources you do that and then activate the mint source again.

But I haven't heard of this problem before from other mint users which i find the most strange thing about your problem.

Are there any other files that are relevant?  I'm happy to share my settings even though I don't fully understand what all of them mean :)

Yes; "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" didn't seem to do anything. ("0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.")

I can understand that the preferences file needs changing (and have found out how to use Gedit to do this), but I can't quite work out the format. I'm wondering is this is it:

Package: *
Pin: origin "http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/extra/ubuntu trusty main"
Pin-Priority: 800

Package: *
Pin: origin "http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty main"
Pin-Priority: 800

Is that right? The bit at the end doesn't look right to me because of the spaces, not something I'd expect in a URL.

Thanks!

The problem is your linuxmint source that is set to 700 and always will
be considered to be a "stable" source and all sources like my PPA as
non-stable. The mint source will be what gets installed if nothing else
is forced it to do an override with packages from other sources.

700 http://packages.linuxmint.com/ rebecca/import amd64 Packages

Hi Philip

Thanks once more. As you say, this seems very odd - especially when my
laptop was running Digikam 4.0.0 on my laptop using the same
distribution (but with only a handful of images).

Anyway, I'll take a proper look at this in the morning; it might be
something to take up on the Linux Mint support forum.

And thanks, Mick, for the preferences list - mine looks the same: it's
how it handles the repositories from Philip that seem to be the problem.

Will report back when I have more news!

Tom,

Any progress? I can't help being curious if you found any solution to your problem.
