Do we need a prod on the libexiv2 package as well to indicate that it
needs an update to fix the cause of the crash? (The fix for gwenview to
handle such crashes better is welcome, but not sufficient).

I can't see any bug report with libexiv2 as the product.

Title:
  Regression: exiv2 0.27.3-3ubuntu1.5 makes Gwenview crash when opening
  images exported by darktable

Status in Gwenview:
  Fix Released
Status in exiv2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gwenview package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since the recent security update of exiv2, Gwenview crashes when
  trying to open image files that got exported by darktable.

  Steps to reproduce:

  * Make a test installation of Kubuntu 21.04 in VirtualBox
  * Install all updates
  * Install darktable
  * Copy one of the images in /usr/share/wallpapers (or any other image) to 
your home directory and open it with darktable
  * Within darktable, export a copy of the image (no need to do any actual 
modifications)
  * Try to open that copy with Gwenview. Gwenview will crash.

  I'm attaching a crash report hinting that this is related to exiv2.

  Temporary workaround:
  If I downgrade libexiv2-27 to 0.27.3-3ubuntu1.4, Gwenview doesn't crash, so 
it seems the crash is related to changes in 0.27.3-3ubuntu1.5.

  I don't know if the underlying cause is actually some bug in exiv2,
  Gwenview or darktable.

  Kind regards, Jan
