I just installed ufraw on my testing/unstable system where
libexiv2_0.9.1-1 was installed.  When started ufraw exited with:

ufraw: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2-0.10.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

upgrading libexiv2 fixed this problem.

The libexiv2 package should have the library SONAME in the package name (i.e. it should be named something like libexiv2-0.10 instead of just libexiv2) in order to ensure that packages that depend on the library have the correct version installed. Otherwise, whenever the SONAME changes, packages that use libexiv2 will break.

(P.S. Peter, please also look into why exiv2 failed to build on arm, which is preventing it from entering testing.)
