Use libkexiv2-1.    As upstream changed to version info it
makes not sense to include tarball version in the pkgs.

As long as libkexiv2 does not change the soname major
again libkexiv2-1.   After next backward compatibility
break we'll get libkexiv2-2, the -3 etc.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
