Arch Linux

Description:
When attempting to stitch a HDR panorama in Hugin, the process failed with the following error message:

---- snip ----
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'vigra::PreconditionViolation'
what():
Precondition violation!
did not find a matching file type.
(/build/src/vigra-1.9.0/src/impex/codecmanager.cxx:234)
---- snip ----

Some googling revealed this bug report on the ubuntu tracker
https://bugs.launchpad.net/enblend/+bug/1169204
Basically, it says vigra needs to be compiled with openexr, to enable exr format handling.

I tried installing vigra-git from AUR, which has openexr as dependency, and with that the list of formats handled by enblend now also includes exr and the stitching process in Hugin succeeds.

Therefore I request vigra to be built with openexr.

(I chose severity "medium" since it affects other packages and keeps enblend and subsequently Hugin from creating exr images.)


Additional info:
* package version(s)
vigra 1.9.0-3 from [extra]

* config and/or log files etc.
(attached) log file of the failed hugin stitching process
