The last update (Plasma 5.8.4) led to the unstallation of digikam, kipi-plugin and some related dependences.The only way I found was to proceed to a new installation after update but I had to repeat the attempts twice before succeeding.
Is there a better way ?

Thanks for suggestions.

We constantly confuse me, Maui forum and constantly writes some plasmas 5.8.4 which is not in Maui 2 distro. New Neon has a plasma 5.8.5
Are you a Maui 2 beta tester or write about another distribution.

Maui users  (1 & 2) can update their distro (if they want) via specific Maui/KDE-Neon backports. These (Neon) updates are not given immediately to the Maui users but , after some testing by the Maui team!

Why do that when you've got Neon plasma 5.8.5 if you are not beta tester
When Maui 2 developers make a version that works with plasma 5.8.5 sit down and do a regular update
I have Naon with plasma 5.8.5 working ok, I have Mint KDE 18 withith backport plasma 5.8.5. Mint has a problem and Kubuntu 16.04
with calendar PIM events, PIM disappeared from digital clock Nowhere on google I have not found a solution.

I think that, nowadays, some Linux OSs developers are moving forward very quickly in specific areas,  without a real or/and a similar interest for the overall OS harmony  with obvious implications on system usability, stability and security !

Νot so surprising to see Debian stable in second place of popularity (Distrowatch.com)....
As a Maui user , I think that , there is a serious effort here by the Maui team, in order to combine the "fashion" with "seriousness"......
Cheers !! 

(PIM events are ok to me with the digital clock)

I have same problem.
My Digikam, after update to plasma 5.8.4, are removed.
If I go to Synaptic, I view that, the Digikam version is 16.04

You mean 5.3.0 which is the last version of Digikam5 ?

Finally I took the kde-plasma update too.
After this job, I restarted the PC (reboot) and I reinstalled digikam and kipi plugins with synaptic.
At the first trial synaptic gave an error but, I tried again (as I had already read here) and the installation was good and it seems ok.
I remember that, during the installation, there was a downgrade for a package.
Cheers !!

I got around this issue, which probably isn't the best option, by turning off all the maui 2 xenial and xenial backports repositories, that I had enabled, and then I reloaded the package manager.  Then I added the xenial testing and xenial testing neon repositories and reloaded package manager again.  This allowed me to reinstall the 5.3 version of digikam but not the latest 5.4 version which is not listed anyway.  It did fix the problem with the removal of digikam after the updates and the broken package messages after an attempt to reinstall digikam as you have experienced. After re-installation of digikam make sure to set the original repositories as you had them.  

Hope this helps and at least gets you working.
