No, it still doesn't work:

# apt-get -t unstable install digikam libkexiv2-1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libkexiv2-1: Depends: libexiv2-0.12 but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

The problem, it seems, is that digikam depends on libkexiv2-1, which 
depends on libexiv2-0.12.  But digikam conflicts with libexiv2-0.12.  
All of this is in unstable.  Am I wrong?

Thanks,
Andrew.
