Another reason to coordinate the libkexif upload with a showimg update.
I contacted Jean-Michel (DD of showimg, cc'ed) Monday last week via mail
already. This Monday I've prepare a deb (#300813). No response yet.
When Jean-Michel is ready we should (re)upload libkexif to sid together
with showimg, rebuild kipi-plguins and digikamimageplugins 0.7.2.

When libkexif1{,-dev} is in sid (and later maybe even testing)
there's no need to have libkexif0{,-dev} binary pkgs.

Short story:
This implies: broken digikam versus maybe will be broken showimg on arch !=
i386.
I was of course tempted but I resisted because I'm not involved in showimg
pkging.
Long version:
digikam 0.7.2, links against libkexif1 and conflicts with kipi-plugins and
digikamplugins in sid (linked against libkexif1). Therefore the 'need'
to upload libkexif1, and rebuild kipi-plugins and digikamplugins (that link
against libkexif1) in one go. [Everything already prepared in
http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~ach/debian/experimental (with dist = sid)]
But in this case showimg links against libkexif0 and would use kipi-plugins
that use libkexif1 :( This combination does not crash gwenview on i386
because the dynamicly loaded kipi-plugins use only the part of libkexif
that has not changed between libkexif 0 and 1. No idea show other archs
act with such a libkexif0/1 combination.
I hope Jean-Michel find soon time for a new showimg deb as e.g. prepared in
#300813

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
