Hello List, I'm looking into this aswell, since I want to use digikam again and got some free time to fix it. I hope I can provide a source-patch in the next few days that allows the currently packaged version of digikam to build again.
In case I get it to work, where do I send the patch? It would affect both #807564 and #802966 since they both say FTBFS (although for different reasons). Cheers, - Danny
