[digiKam-users] exiv2 corrupted image metadata

[Maik Qualmann]

I can reproduce the problem with my native digiKam version, same error 
message. A test with the AppImage from digiKam-7.3.0, which contains a 
slightly older version of Exiv2, shows no problems with the image.
A test with the Exiv2 CLI tool shows the same error message. Since the problem 
can be reproduced well with the CLI tool from Exiv2, report the problem with 
the test image to Exiv2 on Github.
