Unfortunately we are going to have to revert digikam in etch to 0.8.2 due to a 
library transition for libexiv2, which hasn't been approved by the release 
team..  This gives the smoothest upgrade path from sarge to etch.

digikam 0.9.0 (final) is currently available in the experimental distribution.

http://packages.debian.org/digikam

Don't let the name scare you, it is only in experimental because of the etch 
release.  Once etch is released it will move quickly to unstable (sid) and 
then testing (larry ?).  But won't make it to etch.. :-(

I would suggest that you both upgrade to 0.9.0 and advise if this issue is 
still a problem.

Unfortunately this bug isn't the reason for the removal from etch.
