Bug#1136169: libgexiv2-dev: new upload breaks builds of reverse B-D: libgexiv2 is needed but not found

[Paul Gevers]

Package: libgexiv2-dev
Version: 0.16.0-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: ftbfs
Control: affects -1 viking

Hi,

Coincidentally I am working on my package viking today and was 
experiencing build failures I wasn't expecting, even without changes. 
The package builds fine in testing. The error message in unstable is:
"""
| /* Override any GCC internal prototype to avoid an error.
|    Use char because int might match the return type of a GCC
|    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.
|    The 'extern "C"' is for builds by C++ compilers;
|    although this is not generally supported in C code supporting it here
|    has little cost and some practical benefit (sr 110532).  */
| #ifdef __cplusplus
| extern "C"
| #endif
| char gexiv2_metadata_new (void);
| int
| main (void)
| {
| return gexiv2_metadata_new ();
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:11768: result: no
configure:11777: error: libgexiv2 is needed but not found - you will 
need to install package 'libgexiv2-dev' or similar. The feature can be 
disabled with --disable-geotag
"""
and the version of libgexiv2-dev in unstable is different than in 
testing, so I'm filling this bug for further investigation. If viking 
needs to adapt please help me with figuring out what and give me some 
time to adapt before migrating gexiv2.

Paul
