Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty
Locked
 
|
Good Morning all,
Looking for support with Digikam led me to this list as the apparently first line support for Digikam? If I am wrong there I'm sure you will all let me know very quickly? :)
My issue is that, following upgrade to the latest version of Kubuntu (Zesty) I am no longer able to use or re-install Digikam5 which I have used for some time in previous versions of Kubuntu.
So, since I can find no other references to this being an issue anywhere in the grand Interweb I'm left with the only possible conclusion, which is, that there must be something wrong with my installation of Kubuntu after the upgrade?
My previous databases are still present but the program cannot be found. I have treied all the usual suspects, i.e. purging the old installation and trying to install again but it now fails to install/run.
I suppose my question(s) are:
Is this a known issue with Zesty Zapus and DIgikam5 or am I alone?
Can anyone take some time out and offer me a possibly strategy to solve the problem?
I would appreciate the latter and, I susppose, the former if this means that the problem will eventually be solved.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.
James Pirie

I'm not familiar with Ubuntu, and can't tell why DK doesn't work anymore after the update. Anyway, if you need to use DK quickly and want to give it a try you can test the appimage available at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM It doesn't depend on any installed library. Eventually you shoudl make backups of your existing DK database and configuration files before you run the appimage. If you have all metadata written to the image files the appimage can create a new database from scratch with all tags etc. imported from the image files. Martin |

Hi James, I think that your problem is that, during the update, Ubuntu disables old repositories, and you need to re-enable them when you finish the update. But, Digikam5 is not a Ubuntu package. You probably installed this package from Philip's PPA, and happens that Philip (who's in this mail list) didn't updated his PPA to zetsy yet. So, I recommend you keep Philip's PPA disabled (for now) and just install digikam from official repository using: sudo apt install digikam At this moment, the last version on the offical ubuntu repositories is the 5.4. iFf you want or need a more recent version (5.5) you can download the appimage installer using the link that Martin just sent.

Hi Erick, Thanks for the reply. Sadly I've tried the apt install digikam thing and I get errors:
Unpacking digikam (4:5.4.0-0ubuntu3) ...
Since my understanding of the innner workings of Linux are still in their infancy I cannot figure out what the issue is but suspect that previous versions of Digikam are interfereing with the installation? However, in contrast to that, I have previously had both version 4 and 5 installed at the same time without issues.
If Philip is in this list then perhaps he will get back to me eventually and let us know when to expect an update for Zesty which is, I think, the root of the problem.
As for the image files...well, I'm unsure of how to install using those? I donwloaded the correct file but it looks like it wants me to burn it to a CD or DVD? If I did this...what then?
Thanks for your interest in my problem though, It means a lot.

Hi all I haven’t built any digikam 5 packages for Ubuntu 17.04 yet, but just started working on a build a few minutes ago. I guess you will have conflicts between my old "digikam5" packages against the "digikam" 5.4 official packages that comes with ubuntu 17.04 as my old packages are build to coexist with digikam 4.14 on the same system. The conflict with ubuntu 17.04 will hopefully be solved by my new packages. Otherwise you would have to purge my PPA from old packages on Ubuntu 17.04 until my new packages are avalible.On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 8:44 PM, Erick Moreno <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hey Philip, Well now isn't that just the best news I've had all day :) Sorry for my lack of patience but I do use Digikam a lot.
Is the advice to purge all evidence of previous versions of Digikam for now then and await an update?
Thanks again,

Yes if you want to use digikam 5.4 from official ubuntu 17.04 before my update on my PPA with new packages for ubuntu 17.04 you need to purge all packages from my PPA. You can later add my PPA again when you see the new packages. Otherwise just wait maybe to later tonight or tomorrow for the packages to be available and just update as usual from my PPA for digikam 5.5 packages. /PhilipOn Mon, May 8, 2017 at 10:51 PM, James Pirie <[hidden email]> wrote:

Philip, thank you again :) Will you keep calling the package digikam5? Since Ubuntu official repo is on the 5.x versions, this different name is still necessary? James, if you want to run digikam 5.4 right now, try:
I *think* that this will install digikam 5.4 from official repos whithout any issues. On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 6:00 PM, Philip Johnsson <[hidden email]> wrote:

No from ubuntu 17.04 on there will only be "digikam" packages and not any "digikam5" series of packages as "digikam" packages previously in releases before 17.04 on my PPA have been the coexisted digikam 4.14. Looks like I will have the packages ready tonight but I will not have time to setup a virtual ubuntu 17.04 environment to test the packages tonight for upload after it. I guess the upload will be tomorrow or so after I have had time to test install them.On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 11:36 PM, Erick Moreno <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi everyone, I love it when a plan works out :)
I joined this list for a specific answer and that is exactly what I got.
Thanks Erick for your instructions. It seems I had blundered through something fairly similar myself, I installed ppa-purge and followed some online instructions however I had a lot of very old ppa's of philips, previous builds of Ubuntu, in my /apt/sources.list.d directory which were just background noise I think. Anyway, I first used ppa-purge on them all and, when that returned nothing, I simply removed them. I hope I haven't broken anything! ;) Anyway, I have followed your instructions and that seemed to find another package digikam5* to remove and then I did the --remove ppa:philip5/extra trick :)
I presume that now I will only have to add philips repository again later to get the new builds?
Thank you also to Philip for your work. I realise that this is voluntary and I'm sure everyone that knows this appreciates it, I know I do.
All the best from a sunny North West Highlands of Scotland.

That error say that you still have an old digikam5-data package from my yakkety PPA installed that have the same file that's in digikam 5.4 from the offical ubuntu 17.04 package and therefore they conflict and don't install. I just uploaded digikam 5.5 packages for ubuntu 17.04 to be built on my PPA. From Ubuntu 17.04 release there will no longer be any digikam5 packages so there will only be digikam packages and no longer any support for old digikam 4.14 packages. Hopefully if things work as it should ubuntu 17.04 will now solve the update by itself so it upgrade digikam5 5.4 or 5.5 packages for ubuntu 16.10 (yakkety) on my PPA to digikam 5.5 packages on ubuntu 17.04. If anyone have any problem with held back packages doing this then let me know. Upgrading the official digikam 5.4 ubuntu 17.04 packages to digkam 5.5 on my PPA is just straight forward and doesn't involve any old digikam5 packages at all anymore. /Philip On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 10:03 PM, James Pirie <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi Erick, Ok, I did those things and there were some digikam5 data files to remove. So thanks. Since then Philip has also responded and thinks that the issue should simply resolve itself now he has uploaded the correct packages to his ppa.
I am doing some updating and cleaning up before adding the repository again and trying an update/install of Digikam.
It's all very excitiong :)
I'll get back to you all.
Thanks again, fingers crossed

In reply to this post by Philip Johnsson
Dear Erick, Philip and all interested parties,
Success!
I now have my installation of Digikam back and have lost none of my databases :)
Thanks you so much for all your work and help. It's why we use Linux and it's people like yo that make it all possible.
Thank you seems so inadequate :)

I just uploaded digikam 5.5 packages for ubuntu 17.04 to be built on my PPA. From Ubuntu 17.04 release there will no longer be any digikam5 packages so there will only be digikam packages and no longer any support for old digikam 4.14 packages. Hopefully if things work as it should ubuntu 17.04 will now solve the update by itself so it upgrade digikam5 5.4 or 5.5 packages for ubuntu 16.10 (yakkety) on my PPA to digikam 5.5 packages on ubuntu 17.04. If anyone have any problem with held back packages doing this then let me know. Upgrading the official digikam 5.4 ubuntu 17.04 packages to digkam 5.5 on my PPA is just straight forward and doesn't involve any old digikam5 packages at all anymore. /Philip On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 10:03 PM, James Pirie <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi everyone, Seems like I celebrated too soon.
I now can't install Digikam at all :(
Erro, previously noted in an earlier mail in this thread:
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-CLHvhe/6-digikam_4%3a5.4.0-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb (--unpack): Any clues as to what I have done and what I need to do to overcome this? Looks like something has not uninstalled from last time ?

From Philip last answer, I think that you can simply install digikam normally and, when the new PPA goes live, you'll just get the updates from system normal updates cycle.. So, there is no need to wait. Just: sudo apt install digikam :) On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 3:59 AM, James Pirie <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi everyone, I love it when a plan works out :)
I joined this list for a specific answer and that is exactly what I got.
Thanks Erick for your instructions. It seems I had blundered through something fairly similar myself, I installed ppa-purge and followed some online instructions however I had a lot of very old ppa's of philips, previous builds of Ubuntu, in my /apt/sources.list.d directory which were just background noise I think. Anyway, I first used ppa-purge on them all and, when that returned nothing, I simply removed them. I hope I haven't broken anything! ;) Anyway, I have followed your instructions and that seemed to find another package digikam5* to remove and then I did the --remove ppa:philip5/extra trick :)
I presume that now I will only have to add philips repository again later to get the new builds?
Thank you also to Philip for your work. I realise that this is voluntary and I'm sure everyone that knows this appreciates it, I know I do.
All the best from a sunny North West Highlands of Scotland.

For the time being I have removed all traces of digikam <sudo apt purge digikam digikam5> On Monday, 8 May 2017 18:36:51 BST Erick Moreno wrote: Philip, thank you again :) Will you keep calling the package digikam5? Since Ubuntu official repo is on the 5.x versions, this different name is still necessary? James, if you want to run digikam 5.4 right now, try:
sudo apt autoremove sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:philip5/extra sudo apt update sudo apt install digikam I *think* that this will install digikam 5.4 from official repos whithout any issues.

You can later add my PPA again when you see the new packages. Otherwise just wait maybe to later tonight or tomorrow for the packages to be available and just update as usual from my PPA for digikam 5.5 packages. /Philip On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 10:51 PM, James Pirie <[hidden email]> wrote: Hey Philip, Well now isn't that just the best news I've had all day :) Sorry for my lack of patience but I do use Digikam a lot.
Is the advice to purge all evidence of previous versions of Digikam for now then and await an update?
Thanks again,

I guess you will have conflicts between my old "digikam5" packages against the "digikam" 5.4 official packages that comes with ubuntu 17.04 as my old packages are build to coexist with digikam 4.14 on the same system. The conflict with ubuntu 17.04 will hopefully be solved by my new packages. Otherwise you would have to purge my PPA from old packages on Ubuntu 17.04 until my new packages are avalible. From ubuntu 17.04 I will drop the very old digikam 4.14 packages and when you update you will only have digikam 5.5 and releases after it. So digikam5 and digikam packages will both be the same with my PPA and Ubuntu 17.04.

But, Digikam5 is not a Ubuntu package. You probably installed this package from Philip's PPA, and happens that Philip (who's in this mail list) didn't updated his PPA to zetsy yet. So, I recommend you keep Philip's PPA disabled (for now) and just install digikam from official repository using: sudo apt install digikam At this moment, the last version on the offical ubuntu repositories is the 5.4. iFf you want or need a more recent version (5.5) you can download the appimage installer using the link that Martin just sent.
