Bug#932627: Leaves stray temporary files around
Package: libexiv2-14
Version: 0.25-4
Severity: normal
There's a bug in libexiv2-14 that leaves stray temporary files in the
dirctory where files are saved. This can be reproduced with Gimp 2.10.8
which uses libexiv2 indirectly though libgexiv by doing an export to any
file with Exif data (jpg/png) and noticing that a second, truncated file
with a random number appened is created in the same directory.
I'm not sure if this bug was introduced by upstream or one of the fixes
applied in debian.
The bug is fixed in the version uploaded in experimental (0.26-1), which
does mention incorrect temporary file leakage in the upstream changelog.
I would also point out that a newer upstream (0.27.1) is available as
well, and I verified that it also doesn't contain the issue.
