I just found the time to compile digikam from trunk, however, for some reasons
it fails to read the metadata and is just using the mtime or so in the
Properties tab. All entries in the Metadata tab are displayed in gray.

Here is the relevant CMake output:
-- Check Kexiv2 library in local sub-folder...                                  
-- Check Kexiv2 library using pkg-config...                                     
-- WARNING: you are using the obsolete 'PKGCONFIG' macro use FindPkgConfig

I can see entries like this in the debug output:
digikam(15121)/KEXIV2 KExiv2Iface::KExiv2Priv::printExiv2ExceptionError: Cannot

Can you give me a pointer what to fix in my build to make reading metadata
work? Otherwise I'll have to wait until I get distribution packages to test if
the bug is fixed for me.

Thanks!
