Requests recompilation on startup

[Peter Taylor]

Binary package hint: kphotoalbum

kphotoalbum 4.0.2-1 on startup pops up a dialog:

========

Images/Videos Are Not Sorted

Your images/videos are not sorted, which means that navigating using the date bar will only work suboptimally.

You also don't have EXIF support available, which means that you can't read image dates from JPEG metadata. It's strongly recommended to recompile KPhotoAlbum with the exiv2 library. After you have done so, you'll be asked what to do to correct all missing information.

========

For what it's worth, I have the following packages installed:
exiv2 0.18.2-1
libexiv2-5 0.18.2-1
libkexiv2-7 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu1

Surely part of the point of Ubuntu is that end users shouldn't have to know what a compiler is? Why is something "strongly recommended" not included in the distributed package?

I see the same thing, I already checked and verified that KPhotoAlbum is compiled with the correct dependencies, I believe that this is some code problem in KPhotoAlbum itself, but need to get confirmation from the developers of KPhotoAlbum first.

I think I found the problem in the source code of kphotoalbum, there are bug reports at KDE Bug 211907 at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211907 and Debian Bug 552236 at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=552236.
