Description of problem: there appears to be some version incompatibility between Exiv & Strigi libs. it does not affect KDE performance or usability per se but it is probably creating some unnecessary dependencies for yum/RPM and/or making proper upgrade paths for these packages impossible. please Note this is after upgrading a fedora 16 system to F17 via preupgrade see below for my version(s) of Exiv libs -------------------------------------------- exiv2-libs x86_64 0.22-6.fc17 @anaconda-0 3.0 M libkexiv2 x86_64 4.9.1-1.fc17 @kde-testing 1.5 M --------------------------------------------------- root@localhost ~# yum check Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit, tidy-cache strigi-libs-0.7.7-5.20120626.fc16.x86_64 has missing requires of libexiv2.so.10()(64bit) Error: check all root@localhost ~# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 3.5.3-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 29 18:46:34 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux root@localhost ~#
could the problem simply be that there is not yet an F17-branded version of strigi-libs in the repos yet ? maybe the fc16 release is the only one out there right now ?

Looks like getting this will fix it for you, https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-13344/strigi-0.7.7-5.20120626.fc17 (currently queue'd for stable updates)
So no upgrade path issue there, all the expected ordering requirements are satisfied: f16 <= f16-updates <= f16-updates-testing f17 <= f17-updates <= f17-updates-testing f16 <= f17 f16-updates <= f17-updates f16-updates-testing <= f17-updates-testing
