exiv2 soname bump
Rex Dieter announced[1]:
"exiv2-0.21 was released recently, and includes a soname bump. I plan on importing this into rawhide next week sometime, if all goes well.

I've done a few test builds of the items below, and the only one that ftbfs is pyexiv2 (a usual suspect, being a low-level binding).
