It looks like /usr/lib/kde4/digikamimageplugin_freerotation.so is left over from an older version. Try to completely purge and reinstall digikam. Otherwise a bug report at the ubuntu bug tracker would be more appropriate.
Indeed, this is an installation/compilation bug, caused by some packaging or installation error. You need to report this to Ubuntu directly. Thanks
Ok. Purging digikam didn't solve the issue. I believe that on /usr/lib/kde4/ where old digikam lib files after a old version compilation that I've done a few months ago. So I moved this old lib files completely out of the way (mv /usr/lib/kde4/digikam* ~/backup) ran ldconfig and started digikam. It works now. Problem solved.
