This is the last component of digikam, that still depends on libkexiv instead of libexiv. At least according to README and debian packages pull it as dependency. If this is just an error in the README, then great, otherwise are there plans to remove this dependency? Reproducible: Always
Well, this dependency is only need to build tests code. That all. libkipi do need libkexiv2 library in fact. Gilles Caulier
this is indicated in README line 23 : https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=libkipi.git&a=blob&f=README#l23
For packaging you don't care about test code compilation. Also it's optional. So this report is invalid Gilles Caulier
digiKam do not depends of libkexiv2 anymore.
