Bug#521461: eog: misinterprets EXIF 'Orientation' tag

[Jens Kilian]

Package: eog
Version: 2.24.3.1-1
Severity: normal

I'm using ImageMagick & exiftool to convert some JPGs to TIFs.
The images were taken with a digital camera (Panasonic FZ50)
which automatically records the orientation.  The resulting TIF
is not displayed correctly by eog; eog seems to interpret an
EXIF 'Orientation' tag of 'Rotate 270 CW' as 'Flip Vertically'.
Note that the Nautilus thumbnails for the converted images
are displayed correctly.

To reproduce, take a JPG with orientation 'Rotate 270 CW'.
Then,

    convert foo.jpg foo.tif
    exiftool -TagsFromFile foo.jpg foo.tif
    eog foo.jpg foo.tif
