exiv2 @0.27: bug makes gimp unable to open jpeg files due to crashing file-jpeg plug-in

Reported by: ivanschou Owned by: dbevans (David B. Evans)

Description (last modified by ivanschou)

Attempts to open JPEG files in Gimp 2.10.8 results in an error message.

Running "gimp-console --verbose My_Image.JPG" results in the following details:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type Exiv2::BasicError<char>: No namespace info available for XMP prefix `DICOM'
/opt/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg: fatal error: Abort trap: 6
gimp-console: LibGimpBase-WARNING: gimp-console: gimp_wire_read(): error
Terminating plug-in: '/opt/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg'
GIMP-Error: Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg"
(/opt/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg)

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

Both gimp2 and exiv2 compile without error. Attempted to force uninstall and reinstall of both gimp and exiv2.

Using latest build of MacPort from git on MacBook running Mojave with exiv2 @0.27_0, gimp @2.10.8_0, gimp2 @2.10.8_2+python27, and gimp-app @2.8.2_2.

I also encountered this issue. The macOS binary from gimp.org works.

Same problem on MacOS His Sierra 10.13.6 with gimp2 @2.10.8_3+python27+quartz, gimp @2.10.8_0+animation+quartz, gimp-app @2.8.2_2.

They say that MacPorts commit broke things. But that commit merely rebuilt gimp and everything else that links with exiv2, after exiv2 was updated to 0.27. That was apparently necessary following that update. If gimp doesn't work with exiv2 0.27, or if exiv2 0.27 is broken in general, that's not our bug.

Replying to mopihopi:

The macOS binary from gimp.org works.

And what version of exiv2 was it built with?

It appears that the working gimp 2.10.8 macOS binary from gimp.org was built with exiv2 0.26:

The broken gimp 2.10.8 from MacPorts is built with exiv2 0.27 and gexiv2 0.10.9.

I don't know if it is related but it appears that a new gexiv2 0.11 was released today: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gexiv2/blob/master/NEWS

A gimp developer has helped identify this as a bug in exiv2 0.27. It is reported to the developers of exiv2 here and the proposed patch is here. I have not tested the patch.

Unfortunately, upgrading gexiv to 0.11.0 doesn't seem to fix this issue. I built a local copy (needed to switch to the meson PortGroup, as autotools have been removed), and rebuilt gimp against it. I get the same error when opening a .jpeg file.

Seeing the above patch makes me chuckle that the exiv2 developers missed this change in their own code. I had to add similar patches to get several dependent packages to (re-)build against exiv2 0.27.
