Description wilhelm hagg 2007-07-08 19:32:01 UTC

digikam does not start. It is looking for libexif.so.10 but the latest libexif on gentoo is libexif.so.12.2.0

Doing a 
  ln -s  libexif.so.12.2.0 libexif.so.10
in /usr/lib solves the problem and as far as i can see digikam is lucky with libexif 12 as well.

I guess digikam should ask for libexif and not libexif.so.10 here, right ?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start digikam
2.
3.

You should run revdep-rebuild, not to symlink anything.

Right, after revdep-rebuild it works again. I had to use revdep-rebuild -X since revdep-rebuild alone failed. 
Thanks for the hint.

Maybe revdep-rebuild should be integrated into emerge in the future?
