Error when importing pictures from a camera

Bug Description

Binary package hint: f-spot

Hi,

When importing pictures from a camera to ubuntu f-stop usually shows a strange exception message as shown in the attachment. The problem appears almost every time I want to import new picture from my camera to my pc. The error dialog appears only sometimes, while importing certain files (but not all of them). The files are completely new (new pictures and videos) so they are not symlinks or anything like this. Im using Ubuntu Intrepid.

I will attach some more information in the following posts.

Regards,
Michał

PS. Originally I reported this in another bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot/+bug/326323) but was requested to open a new one.

Same Problem here (nearly identical error dialog, not every picture is affected). The camera is a canon 450d running in ptp mode. Importing with gthumb is working.

I have checked it with the latest jaunty. The problem seems to be gone
now. It seems, that the bug was caused by exiv2.
