Not workling after Wily Upgrade

[peter]

Hi folks/ Damon,

I’ve been unable to fix this and see no one else reporting the problem, I think its a exiv2lib issue, but I’ve been unable to resolve it.

I was using RPD on Lubuntu 15.04 issue free.
Upgraded to Lubuntu to 15.10 and now RPD will not start from the menu.

Outline of Steps taken to try & resolve:

I removed the PPA then
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove rapid-photo-downloader
sudo apt-get install rapid-photo-downloader

REBOOT
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge rapid-photo-downloader
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rapid-photo-downloader

apt shows no broken dependencies, neither does Synaptic.
Starting from the shell consistently gives:

pj@XPS13:~$ rapid-photo-downloader
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rapid-photo-downloader", line 3, in <module>
    import rapid.rapid
  File "/usr/share/rapid-photo-downloader/rapid/rapid.py", line 55, in <module>
    import rpdfile
  File "/usr/share/rapid-photo-downloader/rapid/rpdfile.py", line 29, in <module>
    import pyexiv2
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyexiv2/__init__.py", line 60, in <module>
    import libexiv2python
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libexiv2python.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK5Exiv27ExifKey7tagNameB5cxx11Ev

I have stopped short of forcing exiv2 to wily as Synaptic reports this as a downgrade.
exiv2 version: 0.25-vivid~ppa2

17GB free on install volume
14GB free on Home volume

I apologize if this is not the correct forum, but I had exhausted the faq and google

thanks,
Peter

It works for me on Ubuntu 15.10. This is not a bug in Rapid Photo Downloader. Something is wrong with your installation of pyexiv2. To fix it, you need to ensure that your installations of exiv2 and pyexiv2 are in sync with each other. It looks like the pyexiv2 on your system was built against a different version of exiv2, which is why it's failing to be imported.
