Bug Description

Binary package hint: digikam

Digikam was released in version 1.2 lately and it fixes a lot of bugs. The article which introduced this new version mentioned 100 problems, that could be resolved since the release of digikam 1.1.0.

http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/511

Also all patches could be dropped, because they went upstream.
I talked to the Gilles the main developer of digikam and he recommends to use digikam 1.2 in Lucid.
We are very late in the release cycle, but we should take care of shipping a working digikam this time and the long list of fixed bugs seems to make it advisable to upgrade.

Digikam 1.2 was tested in the Kubuntu Backports PPA. No complaints so far and it also works good for me.

Install log (Sorry german only, no problems there):

What about kipi-plugins? We should address them together. They will also need to be tested with gwenview.

A package is in staging ppa. I'll add the freeze exception requests for kipi-plugins after some more testing.
