Hi,
on my RHEL4 box I have installed digikam from the kde-redhat repos.
kde-redhat also provides the required exiv2 and libexiv2 packages.
Since a while EPEL provides an updated version of exiv2 which clashes
$ yum update

Loading "protectbase" plugin
Loading "versionfix" plugin
Loading "kmdl" plugin
Loading "kernel-module" plugin

Available Packages
exiv2.x86_64 0.17.1-1.el4 epel
exiv2.i386 0.17.1-1.el4 epel
By using priorities for the repos, I can work around the clash, but
maybe we can find a better solution.
Cheers,
Andreas

Actually it's a collision between rpmforge and EPEL.
Same problem in el5.
