Issue:
Building and installing gexiv2 from the debian
package does not install all files to the correct directories. The
GExiv2-0.10.typelib does get placed in the correct location of
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0 but at least two other files do not.
Steps to Replicate:
On a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 with git commit 325ec930a9964537da84bfdd86c1922e3d18029c
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install exiv2
sudo apt-get install gtk-doc-tools
sudo apt-get install valac
sudo apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libexiv2-dev
sudo apt-get install python-gi
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install debhelper
sudo apt-get install devscripts
sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev
cd gexiv2
sudo debuild -b -uc -us
sudo dpkg -i ../gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10_0.10.4-0~jensge1~xenial4_amd64.deb

>>> from gi.repository import GExiv2

This happens in python2.7 and python3
running sudo find / -name GExiv2.py shows:
/home/ubuntu/gexiv2/GExiv2.py

/home/ubuntu/gexiv2/debian/tmp/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GExiv2.py
If gexiv2 is installed with sudo make install the output of sudo find / -name GExiv2.py shows:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GExiv2.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GExiv2.py
/home/ubuntu/gexiv2/GExiv2.py
It looks like other files are also not put in the correct location such as libgexiv2.so.2.
I found another person that is having a similar problem:
Is there a step I am missing in building and installing from a debian package?
Thanks,
