package digikam 4:5.4.0-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/metainfo/org.kde.digikam.appdata.xml', which is also in package digikam5-data 4:5.5.0-yakkety~ppa1

So it's conflicting with a file from a completely unofficial package of digikam 5.5 that you installed from someone's ppa in Yakkety?

This is an issue with using unofficial sources that have conflicting files and versions. Not a bug in the ubuntu package.

Removing the ppa digikam5-data 4:5.5.0-yakkety~ppa1 package and any other digikam package from that ppa should allow installation of the ubuntu package. Changed to a question, as this seems a support or configuration issue, and not a bug.

It's ok by now. After I did remove everything and reinstall it worked.
Thanks for your help
