package digikam 4:5.4.0-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/metainfo/org.kde.digikam.appdata.xml', which is also in package digikam5-data 4:5.5.0-yakkety~ppa1

Removing the ppa digikam5-data 4:5.5.0-yakkety~ppa1 package and any other digikam package from that ppa should allow installation of the ubuntu package. Changed to a question, as this seems a support or configuration issue, and not a bug.

yves ; Hello;

Philip has not updated his PPA to support zesty.
See: https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/ubuntu/extra
Until and IF the PPA is updated disable the ppa:philip5/extra source.

Now what results from terminal commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Unknown at this time if the PPA install will have to be purged to effect the repo install of digikam . The above will indicate what additional measures may be required.

Maybe Yes ... maybe not so yes

It's ok now. After I did remove everything and reinstall it works. Thanks
for your help..

PPAs can give issues if you are getting overlaps then dpkg will moan.
I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer to inform them
