Package: exiv2 Version: 0.20-2 Severity: normal Hi,
When using exiv2 to add, display, or edit metadata for a file that resides on an CIFS mount, the program exits with the error message "Failed to open the file". This seems to be a known situation which can be resolved by doing an export CPPFLAGS=-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 before configure during compilation. Indeed that fixed the problem on my system. A bit of technical explination can be found at [1] and additional discussion at [2] and [3].
