Description Karl-Johan Karlsson 2015-08-09 19:57:46 UTC 
Since I upgraded to media-gfx/digikam-4.10.0, I've noticed digikam doesn't write my captions to the images themselves, just its own database. I finally got fed up with this bug and searched for a solution. It turns out it's known and fixed upstream: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348586 says the bug is in kde-apps/libkexiv2, and the fix is in version >=15.04.3.

This is annoying, since digikam 4.10 and 4.12 are in mainline Portage, but the latest libexiv2 in mainline is 4.14.3. The KDE overlay has kde-apps/libkexiv2-15.04.3, and installing that resolves the bug for me.

I'd suggest one of the following actions:
1. Move kde-apps/libkexiv2-15.04.3 from the KDE overlay into mainline Portage so the versions of media-gfx/digikam that are already in mainline actually work.
2. Apply the two-line patch from http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=libkexiv2.git&a=commit&h=c82033b16e8e225bd63a325d9c2b0a16450f2775 to kde-apps/libkexiv2-4.14.3 in mainline.

I guess another option is technically possible, but suboptimal:
3. Mask >=media-gfx/digikam-4.10.0 as buggy.

Reproducible: Always

Perhaps updating the base exiv2 library might also help.

Comment 2 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2015-10-08 12:22:08 UTC 
Did the exiv2-0.25 update help?
Comment 3 Karl-Johan Karlsson 2015-10-08 18:11:29 UTC 
Yes.

I still see the bug with media-gfx/exiv2-0.24-r1, kde-apps/libkexiv2-4.14.3, and media-gfx/digikam-4.12.0.

I do not see the bug with media-gfx/exiv2-0.25-r1, kde-apps/libkexiv2-4.14.3, and media-gfx/digikam-4.12.0.
Comment 4 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2015-10-22 18:32:37 UTC 
Now, in addition to media-gfx/exiv2-0.25, also kde-apps/libkexiv2-15.08.2 and digikam-4.14.0 are in tree.
