Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at

Yes, but could you file a bug or whatever upstream? Also, you should probably talk to the Desktop team about your concerns before asking the Archive Admins to demote a Desktop package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to

shotwell depends on libgexiv2-2 which depends on libexiv2-14 So, um how would you fix that? ** Changed in: exiv2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to exiv2 in Ubuntu.
