Public bug reported: The problem began after upgrading libexiv2-27 from version 0.27.6-1build1 to 0.27.6-1ubuntu0.1.
Symptoms: Gwenview crashes when generating thumbnails (with kioslave5 and Unresolved mime type errors), GIMP crashes with the file-png plugin, and gThumb crashes. Solution: Rolling back to version 0.27.6-1build1 completely resolves the issue.
