[Shotwell] Problems installing Shotwell 0.8.1 on Ubuntu lucid

[David Velazquez]

The obligatory warning should be posted here: There are a ton of packages in
that repository. I would be cautious about adding that and upgrading your
system. Things (mostly dependencies, I'm thinking) may break. In my opinion,
if you have the patience and time it would probably be far better to compile
from source so that you don't run the risk of upgrading the wrong package
and breaking something. My 2 cents though, apparently this repository has
worked for many people.
