Package: libgexiv2-dev

Severity: serious

Control: affects -1 viking

Hi,

Coincidentally I am working on my package viking today and was experiencing build failures I wasn't expecting, even without changes. The package builds fine in testing. The error message in unstable is:
"""
| /* Override any GCC internal prototype to avoid an error.
|    Use char because int might match the return type of a GCC
|    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.
|    The 'extern "C"' is for builds by C++ compilers;
|    although this is not generally supported in C code supporting it here
|    has little cost and some practical benefit (sr 110532).  */
| #ifdef __cplusplus
| extern "C"
| #endif
| char gexiv2_metadata_new (void);
| int
| main (void)
| {
| return gexiv2_metadata_new ();
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:11768: result: no
configure:11777: error: libgexiv2 is needed but not found - you will need to install package 'libgexiv2-dev' or similar. The feature can be disabled with --disable-geotag
"""
and the version of libgexiv2-dev in unstable is different than in testing, so I'm filling this bug for further investigation. If viking needs to adapt please help me with figuring out what and give me some time to adapt before migrating gexiv2.

Paul
