At least with aptitude, after the install failure, the package remains in a "to be installed" state, which means all further install/updates will end with a failure status because of this package. (Thankfully, other packages still install successfully, but the overall state of the install/upgrade process is that of a crash.) Using the "-" key to "remove" digikam-doc clears the problem.
