[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#552236: kphotoalbum: Missing EXIF support dialog upon startup without remedy ?

[Olivier Berger]

Package: kphotoalbum
Version: 4.0.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

Upoon startup, kphotoalbum prompts me with a dialog saying that "Images/Videos Are Not Sorted" : "... you don't have EXIF support available... It is strongly recommended to recompile KPhotoAlbum with the exiv2 library...".

Well... what can a regular Debian user do : something's missing during package compilation ?

However, there seems to be a build-depends on libexiv2-dev, so it may not be the real problem ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
