segfault when rotating Olympus images

[Christian Kirbach]

Olympus S760 and S770 cameras use a slightly new format for maker note. libexif has been patched to support this new format.
Please patch Ubuntu libexif.

I just bought an Olympus mju 770 and I can confirm that I cannot save rotated images
in neither eog nor gthumb (both die with SIGSEGV), apparently because of this bug in libexif12f_0.6.13-5ubuntu0.2 which has been corrected upstream, at least in current 0.6.16, probably already 0.6.15.
Running up-to-date Feisty as of 18-Sep-2007.

It has been corected already in libexif 0.6.13-6 Debian unstable (Tue, 08 May 2007). From debian changelog: " * debian/patches/30_olympus_makernote.dpatch: added support for Olympus S760 & S770 makernote (closes: #418945)". But in Ubuntu Feisty and Edgy still not patched.

Can You estimate, when thar fix comes to Ubuntu. That turning is very
important thing for me (because my right hand is paralyzed).

Gutsy released with 0.6.16-1, so I guess this is fixed now.

Now rotating works without bugs.
