[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#931830: Debian 10 includes known bad version of digikam => please make available .DEB of newer / more stable version

[Alain Knaff]

Package: digikam:amd64
Version: 4:5.9.0-1+b1

Hi,

Buster includes a known bad version of digikam, which freezes on
internal database access (409686) and makes it cumbersome to invoke its
image editor (395875).

Bug reported to upstream, they say it's an obsolete version which should
no longer be used: watch comment#2 by Maik Qualmann on bug 409686:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409686#c2


As far as I remember, it's not the first time that there have been
issues with bad digikam versions included in new Debian releases.
Wouldn't it be possible to check with upstream whether the version which
is planned to be included has known showstopper bugs before making a
major Debian release?

Thanks,

Alain
