I was a long time user of Digikam but had to give it up a few years back as I wanted a lighter desktop. I always missed it but the KDE dependencies are/were a real pain. I was just reading the release notes for Digikam 5 and it seems the devs have been listening and they have taken the opportunity while moving to Qt5 to significantly reduce the KDE dependencies. On their blog there is a link to a PPA for the beta version but It looks like sid has some dependencies missing.
libkf5akonadicontacts5 and libkf5contacts5 I don't really keep up to date with the KDE transition but it looks like these are from the kde pim. I have looked but can't find anything useful about when this might hit sid. Does anyone have any information about when these libs may reach sid.
thanks
