** Description changed: + * Impact + + The libheif loader is bailing out due to a missing plugin directory + which leads to image viewer as eog not being able to open pictures in + that format anymore + + * Testcase + + Install libheif1 and heif-gdk-pixbuf and try to open a .heif file in eog + + * Where problems could occur + + The package build is using the option to not split the codec in separate + plugins but the version of Lunar doesn't handle the missing plugins + directory and bails out. The code of the version in mantic has been + refactored in a way which fixes this problem. For lunar it's easier to + just create the directory. The directory is included in the libheif1 + binary but that should not create any conflict, it's a temporary + situation for lunar only and even if the soname changed dpkg allows for + several deb packages to provide the same directory. + + ---------------------------------------------- + + In previous Ubuntu versions, including 22.10, I was able to open HEIF/HEIC files by installing libheif1 and heif-gdk-pixbuf.
