[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#884949: digikam crashes on red eye removal

[Torsten Crass]

Package: digikam
Version: 4:5.3.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the digikam version currenlty included in Stretch (4:5.3.0-1) 
consistently crashes when trying to apply red eye reduction to an image. 
This behaviour is known upstream and is fixed in version 5.4 according 
to https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-devel/2016-November/090029.html

Would it be possible to upgrade Stretch's digikam to 5.4.* -- or even 
backport 4:5.6.0* from testing/unstable?

Thanks a lot --

     Torsten
