Comment 0 for bug 1706471

Hello,

Please consider demoting exiv2 to universe.

http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/1248

The upstream author appears overwhelmed with the task of hardening exiv2 for use against untrusted inputs and thus far (~nine months) no users have provided the project with patches against known issues.
