Same problem here. There is an error in the workaround above :

# ln -s /usr/lib/libgexiv2.so.1 /usr/lib/libgexiv2.so.0

DOESN'T WORK, since the link source (libgexiv2.so.1) doesn't exist on the system.

A working workaround is :

# ln -s /usr/lib/libgexiv2.so.2 /usr/lib/libgexiv2.so.1

You are right, I mixed up the numbers. Thanks for the comment!
