DetailsDescription:
The feh image viewer can rotate images using keyboard. When doing so on jpegs, it tries to update the exif tags stored in the file. For this purpose it tries to call a utility named jpegexiforient. I could not find any Arch package to provide it. Not sure, but upstream might be here: https://github.com/kloper/libjpeg For suse the solutions seems to have been to deliver the program with the feh package. See: https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.2/oss/src/feh-2.18.3-6.3.1.src.rpm Additional info: * package version(s) feh 2.26.2-1 Steps to reproduce: - open a jpeg file with feh - use '<', '>' keys to rotate image - feh will produce the warning below feh WARNING: lossless rotate: Failed to exec jpegexiforient: No such file or directory feh WARNING: lossless rotate: Failed to update EXIF orientation tag: jpegexiforient returned 1 |

Debian maintains jpegexiforient themselves; they have a libjpeg version and a libjpeg-turbo version; see: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libjpeg-turbo-progs However I'm not sure we'd like to do that ourselves. Perhaps I'll just add Debian's tarball as a source to our feh package just to build jpegexiforient.
I'll think about this some more but any suggestion for a clean packaging solution to this problem is welcome.
