Bug Description

in the amd64 package there is a symbolic link missing in the filesystem.
in the package libexif12 (0.6.19-1) are the following files:

1704455 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2011-04-10 19:45 libexif.so.12 -> libexif.so.12.3.1
1704176 276 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 280832 2009-11-25 13:49 libexif.so.12.3.1

the the following link ist missing:
1704460 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-04-10 19:49 libexif.so -> libexif.so.12

I had to create it manually.
the cause i was finding out it was, when i was using the programm "qlandkartegt" and go to the menu "wegpunkt" --> "von bildern" (in englisch version i think "waypoint" --> "from pictures"). the programm was coming up woth a error message: "missing file libexif-.so"

so i created a symolic link with:
sudo ln -s libexif.so.12 libexif.so

...and all is right now....

please update the package to make the link my installing it.

Greetings
eugen
