Comment 4 for bug 1009230

At home I noticed that this issue is not occurring on two 4 years old installations of Kubuntu 32 bit (my old desktop and my netbook in my living room, both initially running Kubuntu 8.04 and now running 12.04).

I booted my new desktop with 32-bit Kubuntu 12.04 using the live CD on an USB stick.

After installing the same packages:
ii kipi-plugins 4:2.5.0-1ubuntu2 image manipulation/handling plugins for KIPI aware programs
ii kipi-plugins-common 4:2.5.0-1ubuntu2 kipi-plugins architecture-independent data
ii libkipi-data 4:4.8.3-0ubuntu0.1 data files for kipi libraries
ii libkipi8 4:4.8.3-0ubuntu0.1 library for apps that want to use kipi-plugins (runtime version)

I have the same issue on the 32-bit version of Kubuntu 12.04. Gwenview losses exif data on recompression.

So the issue seams to affect every fresh installation of Kubuntu 12.04, 32 and 64 bits.
For some strange reason my upgraded (32 bits) installations of Kubuntu are not affected.
