Hi,
Our local school is running a highly customized Xfce desktop based on CentOS 7. We're using quite many EPEL packages.
The upgrade from CentOS 7.4 to 7.5 has been a bit bumpy for desktop users. Here's what happens when I try to install the Gthumb image viewer:
--> Résolution des dépendances terminée Erreur : Paquet : gthumb-3.3.4-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requiert : libexiv2.so.12()(64bit) Vous pouvez essayer d'utiliser --skip-broken pour contourner le problème
The problem has already been reported, and there's a detailed discussion about it here:
https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3414821
It seems like the only workaround is to rebuild the old exiv2-libs package and build a corresponding compat- package.
My question to you here: is there any way you provide this package? Because in the current state, the gthumb package you provide is unusable.
Cheers from the sunny South of France,
Niki Kovacs

There's a bug open to resolve this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1578517
The gthumb package just needs to be rebuilt against the updated exiv libraries. A scratch build succeeds, so this should be a relatively easy fix and will hopefully get cleared up soon.
Here's a scratch build with the rpm release bumped in a way that it is newer than what's currently in EPEL-7 and older than the next build, in case you want to use it while waiting for an official rebuild.
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=27066848
(It should be finished in a few minutes.)

Thanks very much for your reactivity. I'm not in a particular hurry, and if the package is rebuilt over the next days, I can wait until it hits the EPEL repositories.
I do have my own package repository with a handful of extra stuff, but I'm not a very experienced builder, so I thought I'd rather ask upstream first.

On a side note: since I'm only a "mere mortal" package user, my first reaction was to look out for an epel-users mailing list, but the archives are more or less empty. So I subscribed to the epel-devel list, which seems active. I hope this isn't a problem.
Cheers,
Niki

I can confirm this. I simply rebuilt the latest EPEL SRPM for gthumb and put it in my personal repo.
https://centos.microlinux.fr/centos/7/x86_64/RPMS/
Works perfectly.
Cheers,
Niki

Excellent. There is an update headed to epel-testing now:
