[Bug 366912] [NEW] digikam broken in 9.04 (requires libexiv2.so.4)

[Ari]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: digikam

Digikam is not working after my upgrade to ubuntu Jaunty 9.04

It shows this error:

digikam
digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After a little research, I see that jaunty's exiv2 package installed a more recent version of the library:
$ ls /usr/lib/libexiv2*
/usr/lib/libexiv2.a   /usr/lib/libexiv2.so    /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.5.2.0
/usr/lib/libexiv2.la  /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.5

I tried removing (purging) both digikam and exiv2 but could not correct
the issue.

A quick hack (sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.5 /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.4)
didn't help, digikam starts loading but terminates before showing the
main window
