Details

Description: gimp fails to start because of missing libgexiv2 dependency.


Additional info:
* package version: 2.10.34-1

Steps to reproduce: open a terminal and run gimp.

I see this error message:

gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libgexiv2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If I run `ldd /usr/bin/gimp | grep 'not found'` I see:

libgexiv2.so.2 => not found
libgexiv2.so.2 => not found

Adding the libgexiv2 package gets gimp working again.
This task depends upon

This is why we should list all transitive dependencies, as these can go in and out at any time.
