SOLVED Digikam 2.0/Showphoto2/kipi-plugins2 -- Any one else try it?

[dibl]

I was helping a friend who was trying to install Digikam 2.0 (beta) today on his 11.04 system, from the Philip Johnsson repo, and we ended up here:

$ sudo apt-get -f install

This is a 32-bit system. But I was able to install it on my 64-bit system without this core dump error. I can't tell from his error output what triggered the core dump, except that was the openni-utils package. That package is installed satisfactorily on my 64-bit system.

Anyone else messing with these packages?

First try to fix config problem by running this command:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Did you have both repos, philip5-extra and philip5-kubuntu-backports, added? I've have no problem, but my system is also 64bit. Just tell your friend his 32bit system is so 1990's and that he needs to upgrade asap

Yeah we tried that, along with sudo apt-get -f install, but no joy.

There must be some bug in the 32-bit package or script.

Thanks PG!

Installation of Digikam2, Showfoto2, and kipi-plugins2 is now working correctly on i386 architecture, KDE 4.7. There are 9 packages with today's date in the repo, including the openni-x packages. We'll call it solved.
