Hi Styx,
I have no idea if this will be of any help for you, but recently I had a
similar issue with Exiv2 in my OpenSuSE 13.2 with KDE.
I do not know if with Kubuntu is the same but in my case there was a
packaging issue that made difficult to update to Exiv2 0.25.0.
In fact there is a package Exiv2 but has nothing to deal with this dance
and makes no difference to install it or not.
This is the issue in OpenSuSE:
Digikam needs exiv2 v0.25 but the official repos have it packaged in a
way that it requests libkexiv2-11 in a version that in turns requires
the file libexiv2.so.13 provided by libexiv2-13 instead of libexiv2-14
(with the correct Exiv2 v0.25.0).
Therefore in my case the solution was to replace the packages of:
digikam
libkexiv2 (note the "k" on the name)
libexiv2-14
and all the kipi-plugins published on this repo:
* http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/NicoK:/branches:/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_13.2/
Libexiv and libkexiv were the key together with digikam packaged to use
the right versions of these libraries.
Hope it guides you somehow to where to look for a solution to get exiv2
0.25.0 that as Gilles stated, makes the entire difference when you have
video files mixed with photos among other issues.
all best!
