Package: gexiv2-0.14
Version: 0.14.6-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
on an up-to-date Debian Sid, GIMP fails to build from its master git 
branch. It complains about missing 'GExiv2-0.10.gir':

[253/2630] Generating libgimp/Gimp-3.0.gir with a custom command 
(wrapped by meson to set env)

This looks like it comes from 
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/extras/gexiv2-0.14/-/commit/7ee373a8e620bdf5126efb46920343c0339eca40 
, so the gir file is apparently needed for GIMP.

If I build gexiv2 0.14.6 locally and install it, I can build GIMP again.
