Well, I think it's pretty obvious where the problem is...

Can you not just use aptitude, instead of apt, to remove the offending
digikam package? It will offer you various strategies to solve your
package mess.

sudo aptitude purge digikam

If you'd added the package sensibly and not ignored the BIG FAT warning
about unmet dependencies you could have simply used ppa-purge to back
out the package and the repo at the same time but now you're going to
have do it manually. I highly suggest you don't intentionally break your
system's package dependencies in the future!
