[Digikam-devel] [Bug 166867] Digikam crashes when starting

[Gilles Caulier]

I recommend to use Exiv2 0.16 or 0.17.1 not 0.17.0 where we have found
some crash with RAW files.

0.17.1 is more stable.

About 0.17.19 (next 0.18 version i fact) it will be fine to post here
the full gdb backtrace. Andreas Huggel (Exiv2 author) is in this room.

To provide a suitabe backtrace, please compile all using debug info
(Exiv2, libkexiv2 and digiKam) and follow the intruction listed here :
