php 7.08 exif thumbnail failing in 16.04 and earlier

[Charles Berry]

php 7.0.8 exif_thumbnail bug using Zend OPcache v7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.2.

This may be fixed in php 7.0.10. See php bug report https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72819

Can we get 7.0.10 into 16.04?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I Subscribed the Server Team, but most important nacc who did the php7 work to consider your request.

The bug showed up in a PHP 5 version on 14.04 after an Ubuntu update also.. sorry I did not note which version that was. I decided to upgrade to 16.04 expecting the issue to go away.

Thanks for reporting this bug! I will take a look at the upstream bug and try to see if we can get this fixed in both php5 (14.04) and php7.0 (16.04/16.10).

Thanks,
Nish

7.0.15 is now in 16.04+, can you verify if the issue is resolved?

[Charles Berry (crberry)]

Charles,

It looks like you have pinged the upstream developers in the bug
referenced in the original report. I think that's the best approach
for now, unfortunately :/

Standard support has ended for Trusty and Xenial unfortunately, but it looks like this issue was addressed by upstream and the fix should now be included in Ubuntu 18.04 and newer.
