Description Jens Küspert 2015-10-28 15:24:05 UTC

After upgrading to wily and digikam 4.12.0 the information about geolocation is completely gone. Also gone is the ability to tag photos mit geo-information.

I did a clean install of wily in a virtual machine - still no geolocation.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install/upgrade wily 15.10
2. fire up digikam
3. stare at the missing information ;-)

Geolocation is optional at compilation time. 

digiKam continue to support Geolocation, and this will not be changed in the future. It's a main feature.

In other words, it's a DOWNSTREAM problem. Report it to packagers.

Having read https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/marble/+bug/1511503 it turns out that there is a major dependency problem in conflict with marble using Qt5 libraries. 
Both marble and digikam access a common library libkgeomap2, but in different versions if I read it the right way.

Not too promising.
