Package: libheif1 Version: 1.14.2-1 Followup-For: Bug #1029668 X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-multime...@lists.debian.org
The inability to read HEIC content using applications that depend on libheif1 could be a symptom of a more general codec-loading problem in that package: Version 1.14.0 of upstream libheif1 introduced a plugin-based system[1] (shared modules) for codecs, and I'm not sure that we have opted-in to that and bundled either-statically-or-dynamically-loaded codecs into the binary packages yet. (also note: upstream decided to choose CMake as their single supported build system from 1.14.0; that matches the build system that Debian already uses for the most recent versions of the source package) Although these codec modules are likely only intended for use by libheif1 currently, the Debian Policy Guide section about Static Libraries[2] is helpful to refer to.
