panoramagui 4.12.0 broken/unusable for hugin 2015.0.0 in Ubuntu 16.04

[Dirk Hagedorn]

I recently upgraded from 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS and had to notice, that panoramagui is broken/unsuable/worthless.

Hugin 2015 changed from pto2mk to hugin_executor but panoramagui (or "Panorama Creator Wizard" or "Panorama tool") still wants to use pto2mk. Because there's no pto2mk anymore one can't stitch panos with panoramagui.

Hugin itself works as you can read here: https://answers.launchpad.net/hugin/+question/402693

Without manually downloading/upgrading/downgrading hugin or digikam one cannot get panoramagui working anymore. This is quite annoying. I don't know if this is worth a bug report because I don't know if it is really a "bug" or more a problem of packaging the wrong versions for Ubuntu. Any help appreciated.

Versions:

- (X)Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
- panoramagui 4.12.0 (digikam 4.12.0)
- huigen 2015.0.0.cdefc6e53a58

Start panoramagui and you'll get the first screen listing the (needed) hugin binaries (autooptimiser, cpcloean, cpfind, enblend, make, nona, pano_modify, pto2mk). Because pto2mk is not available anymore (has been replaced by hugin_executor) one cannot proceed. A manual upgrade of digikam or downgrade of hugin would be necessary. Proposal: Ubuntu 16.04 could distribute a younger version of digikam and its panoramagui with support for "hugin_executor" instead of "pto2mk".
