Ubuntu 12.04 install problems

Jeff Zucker
I think digikam is fantastic - it does so many things right that other digital assets managers do wrong.  Thanks!  I'm having a devil of a time getting it installed in Ubuntu 12.04 - I keep getting error messages:

Unpacking digikam-data (from .../digikam-data_4%3a2.5.0-1ubuntu2_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/digikam-data_4%3a2.5.0-1ubuntu2_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/kde4/apps/gpssync/searchmarker-normal.png', which is also in package kipi-plugins2-common 2.1.1-natty~ppa2
No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
                                                              Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/digikam-data_4%3a2.5.0-1ubuntu2_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I've tried erasing the files it says it can't overwrite,  installing digikaqm-data separately, and other things with no success.  Any ideas?     I had 2.something installed and working fine in 10.10, I think I installed it from ppa because I couldn't wait to see it :-).

Thanks!

Looks like you may have to purge the digikam and kipi-plugins packages:
sudo apt-get purge digikam kipi-plugins

Did you remove the ppa? If not remove and then purge digikam...

Maybe you also have to clean the cache:

sudo apt-get clean
