Which Hugin version did you try to detect exactly ?
Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2022-05-15 14:54:59 UTC 
It's a shame that digiKam on Ubuntu is only available as a useless snap package. It is no longer understandable that the Hugin PPA has now also been removed. My personal opinion: Drop Ubuntu to trash.

Here 3 ways to use Hugin on Ubuntu, use the last one as PPA from Debian:

Hello, I tried the flatpack and appimage packages of Hugin, and both were not detected by Digikam. I also (first) try the ppa proposed in the Hugin website, but it did not work, there was no package available.
However, the ppa proposed in Maik's comment webpage works, so it is now fixed.
Thanks a lot, and sorry for the disturbance.
Regards.
