This bug is related to http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2514.
It's possible in Exiv2 to have an empty metadata tag. If it's accessed for its value, the library segfaults. The fix for the ticket I just mentioned was a quick patch for the reporter's specific problem and not a general solution. Last night I committed a patch to our repository that implements a general solution (which is ticket http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2551). If you want to try it, check it out and build and install it: svn co svn://svn.yorba.org/gexiv2/trunk gexiv2 If not, the fix should be released in gexiv2 0.3.0. ** Bug watch added: trac.yorba.org/ #2514 http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2514 ** Bug watch added: trac.yorba.org/ #2551 http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2551 ** Also affects: gexiv2 via http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2551 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- shotwell crashed with SIGSEGV in Exiv2::DataValue::toLong() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/651002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for gexiv2. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
