Hi Rob,

Yes that version 0.17 looks suspicious. Since it is in the /usr directory, it
may be from your distribution. If that's the case, then the proper way to
remove it is through the package management tool of your distribution. Either
way, you need to remove the library, not only the command line tool: make sure
there are no more files libexiv2.* in the /usr/lib directory. Then try digiKam
again. I'd be surprised if it still crashes.

Regards,
Andreas
