For some time now updates on my CentOS box had skipped exiv2. Yesterday I decided to do something about it, so I removed it - together with gwenview, digikam and, IIRC, libexiv2. That sounded reasonable, so I accepted the removal, then re-installed gwenview and digikam, which, of course, pulled in the two exiv2 packages. The version number of exiv2 sounded familiar, but I assumed that it would bring in the best-match version, and continued. This morning, seeing that more updates were announced, I ran update again. To my surprise, exiv2 was skipped, as before. I'm curious as to what could be happening here.

Thus I too removed exiv2 and its dependents. As I did not need the packages I have left them uninstalled. I think the issue is a change in the exiv2 rpm spec file in regards to libraries needed or included, thus as both come from rf - suggest post a request to them.
