Ok, further to my last post I remembered the Debian packages web site and 
according to the web page current is 0.8.2-3 
http://packages.debian.org/testing/graphics/digikam
Double checked my version and it says that it is 0.8.2 is there an special cli 
incantation which may give me more detail on the version I have??
