[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#786562: libexif-dev is not Multi-Arch compatible

[Francois Gouget]

Package: libexif-dev
Version: 0.6.21-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The amd64 version conflicts with the i386 one which makes it impossible to install both.
Fortunately the libexif.so symbolic link is provided by the libexif12 (which is not
supposed to be the case). This mitigates issues if one is interested only in libexif and
does not need the static library.

However libgphoto2-dev depends on libexif-dev, so despite proper multiarch support in
libgphoto2-dev, one cannot use it to develop 32 bit applications on a 64 bit system.

In particular this impacts the Wine development team (32 bit Windows applications are
still the majority so 32 bit support is important to Wine).
