[Shotwell] Problems installing Shotwell 0.8.1 on Ubuntu lucid

[ubuntubrian]

I discovered on the Ubuntu forums this:

You can install the repo that is described and install shotwell .8.1 from
synaptic. I did and it works fine and seems much easier than the building
from source that I tried and kept getting errors.

Basically you enable the repo as per the instructions here:
https://launchpad.net/~guido-iodice/+archive/guiodiclucid

install shotwell from synaptic which will now show version .8.1. I had
already installed all the dependencies manually from the shotwell
instructions so no other packages were installed. I would think that
synaptic will pull in the dependencies just fine if you haven't installed
them yet.

I disabled the repository after installing shotwell as it had upgrades for
many packages and I'm not sure the safety in doing the upgrade.
