I just notified the exiv2 author Andreas Huggel of this problem. Maybe he can provide a bugfix that does not add new functionality. Of course we can't demand that, if there already is a version without the problem - the distributors have to take care of the situation.
By the way: for me the limitations due to the buggy exiv2 0.18 are marginal, since only the 10 or so pictures taken with a specific camera (which was a friend's model, not mine) cause the program to crash. So I just moved them out of the digikam folder. Of course the situation looks different for anyone who owns such a digital camera. Still this regression is unfortunate: digikam (and exiv2) in Ubuntu 08.10 had no problems with the very same pictures. -- exiv2 version 0.18 crashes / also crashes digikam / fixed in 0.18.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/358576 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
