OK, back home now.

Charles, you're right; there's no libexiv2 package in the repository.

However, my memory wasn't playing me up: there is an exiv2-libs package
(exiv2-libs-0.15-4.fc8.i386).  Arnd, according to
http://hany.sk/~hany/RPM/libexiv2.so.0.html this package would provide
libexiv2.so.0; I'd say it was worth trying it - do you agree?

If it works, presumably there's just a dependency error in the Fedora 8
package for Digikam.
