It seems that Digikam was removed from Ubuntu 14.04. Why was that?

Considering that Digikam is the only photo organizer which works with geo-tagged photos, what would be the best way to install Digikam in Ubuntu 14.04?

Note that trying to install or search for Digikam turns up nothing:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo aptitude search digikam
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$

Also, clicking the .deb from UbuntuUpdates opens the Ubuntu Software Center which states that the dependencies for Digikam cannot be satisfied.

  • The link you posted says it moved. Please check here: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/trusty/universe/base/digikam – chili555 May 05 '14 at 14:33
  • @chili555: Thank you, I have edited the question to add more information. – dotancohen May 05 '14 at 14:38
  • What does this tell us? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install digikam – chili555 May 05 '14 at 14:39
  • @chili555: I had run `apt-get update` before trying. The search returned nothing, as can be seen in the OP. – dotancohen May 06 '14 at 19:50
  • but it doesn't run stable anyways on 14.04, you have to fix it up first: http://scribblesandsnaps.com/2014/12/12/making-digikam-stable-on-ubuntu-14-04/ – TNT Jan 19 '16 at 06:18

digiKam 4.0 is out! if you'd like, install or upgrade it from PPA (14.04 only):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:msylwester/digikam

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install digikam

PPA: https://launchpad.net/~msylwester/+archive/digikam

Do you have your universe repos enabled?

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and I can see it:

$ apt-cache show digikam | grep Filename
Filename: pool/universe/d/digikam/digikam_3.5.0-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb

Try enabling the Universe repositories:

$ software-properties-gtk

Then leave the "universe" repositories option checked

Click "Close" and allow the packages info to be updated.

  • Thank you. I am actually testing from a LiveCD and I now see that [LiveCDs do not have Universe enabled](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/105511). Enabling Universe seems to resolve the issue. Thank you! – dotancohen May 05 '14 at 14:43
  • In the end I was unable to install Digikam while running the LiveCD due to memory constraints, but I do see that this is the proper way to do so in a hard-drive install. Thank you! – dotancohen May 06 '14 at 19:49
