wrong host name : digikam won't open

[Jeremy Lavergne]

Uninstalling software shouldn't delete your preferences or configuration 
files. Imagine the pain of upgrading any software when the previous 
version is removed.

Google points me to this possible file:
~/.kde4/share/config/digikamrc

You could either edit or delete it.
