For some time now updates on my CentOS box had skipped exiv2. Yesterday I decided to do something about it, so I removed it - together with gwenview, digikam and, IIRC, libexiv2. That sounded reasonable, so I accepted the removal, then re-installed gwenview and digikam, which, of course, pulled in the two exiv2 packages. The version number of exiv2 sounded familiar, but I assumed that it would bring in the best-match version, and continued. This morning, seeing that more updates were announced, I ran update again. To my surprise, exiv2 was skipped, as before.
I'm curious as to what could be happening here.
I too had this issue, although my need for exiv2 was gnome-commander. Thus I too removed exiv2 and its dependents. As I did not need the packages I have left them uninstalled. I think the issue is a change in the exiv2 rpm spec file in regards to libraries needed or included, thus as both come from rf - suggest post a request to them. HTH
Thanks. I've mailed them. My CentOS box spends most of its time doing quite mundane file/print/IMAP serving. Just occasionally I have something that needs a bit more oomph than this laptop can manage, and I turn to the CentOS box for those. It's relatively rare, so this hasn't been a high priority for me - just a niggle.
