Please unblock package geeqie Geeqie has two rotation plugins that are maintained in Debian, and hasn't been forwarded upstream, and these call exiftran in a way that has started to make exiftran segfault. Bug in geeqie: ##1108681 and in exiftran: #1108680 . [ Reason ] Working around a bug in exiftran - the call to exiftran segfaults when using -g, so this removes this from the exiftran calls. Exiftran itself is QA-maintained in Debian, and seems to have only few fixes lately upstream, so I find this the simplest solution. Having a small look at the bug in exiftran I haven't had any luck in finding a solution, my debugging didn't find a good solution. [ Impact ] The lossless rotation of jpegs in geeqie doesn't work. [ Tests ] Tried the fix, and it does work around the segfault. [ Risks ] Trivial changes that doesn't affect other stuff than the plugins for geeqie. [ Checklist ] [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] It seems like these plugins are useful for the users, and this is a better solution than dropping them completely. During the forky release cycle I will see what upstream says about them and forward or remove them. unblock geeqie/2.5-8
