What does rebuild digikam mean? I can't compile and build digikam.
As the only problem with digikam 3.5.0 and marble 4.11.3 is the
reloading of map-data from the internet. If the map is contained in the
cache, then everything is displayed correctly. If it is not, the program
seems to be waiting for new information to arrive, which does not
happen. I have seen no other problem with digikam and kde 4.11.3.
This is a problem with kde 4.11, not only 4.11.3, as I had the same
problems with kde 4.11.2.
The problem is the communication between marble-plugins and
libmarblewidget.
libmarblewidget15 is looking for the marble-plugins in
/usr/lib/kde4/plugins/marble/15, which is empty after installing
marble-plugins 4.11.3. Copying the saved content of that directory after
installing 4.10.5 and restoring it after installing 4.11.3 restores the
working of geolocation.
