I can't help with Digikam. Usually I just mount the camera
(most of them can pose as USB mass storage these days).

Perhaps you might get more help if you could specify some of those
"missing that" a bit more closely. I don't know. WRT to digikam,
most probably not from me, because I keep desktop environments at
a safe distance.

If you want some kind of help on that, you'd have to put some
effort into making this "obvious" to us. Why is that obvious
to you?

The package manager seems happy, and these days it tends to
get dependencies right most of the time.
