Public bug reported: Error message was that Digikam depended on digikam-private-libs which could not be installed due to a dependency error. A package dependency search through Aptitude finally revealed that the problem was libsane-common. This package was 1.0.27+git20171029-artful-0. The suggested downgrade to 1.0.27~experimental2ubuntu1 was accepted and the installation of Digikam 5.6 and Showfoto went ahead without further problems.
