[Bug 384278] [NEW] Jaunty ships with libraries too old for digikam-kde4

[Tony Green]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: digikam

I have reported a bug (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195448) with KDE for Digikam 0.10.0 crashing fatally (and taking the whole computer out!)
>From the diagnostics I supplied, the developer (Gilles Caulier) has deduced that a number of libraries installed in Jaunty are actually too old for the KDE4 version of Digikam and could be the source of my problem.

Specifically (quoting Gilles)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LibExiv2: 0.18 [currently installed version]

==> i recommend to use last Exiv2 0.18.1, to be sure...

LibKdcraw: 0.4.2 [currently installed version]

=> A little bit old. this is the lead RAW interface for digiKam.

LibRaw: 0.6.15-Release [currently installed version]

This one is the MUST important. it's integrated into libkdcraw as well (no
external package) .this is the core component to handle RAW in all ways.

With current code of libkdcraw (integrated with KDE/Kdegraphics component,
libraw version is 0.7.2. I recomment to take a look to update it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have searched around for newer versions of these to install with  no success. So it seems that Jaunty is probably (assuming I haven't missed something obvious) shipping with out-of-date libraries required by Digikam's KDE4 release.

This is a pretty serious problem as it leads to the computer completely
hanging up during the import of RAW image files into Digikam - nothing
but a hard reset brings it back.

Details:
Release is Kubuntu 9.04, AMD-64 architecture
Digikam version is 0.10.0
