[Shotwell] 0.8.1 update: Problem with CR2 files from a Canon EOS 550D

[Bruno Girin]

Jim,

Yes I tried merely dropping in 0.12 with an existing build of Shotwell
and running ldconfig to force ld to refresh its cache. It didn't work. I
believe that's because libraw is a static library rather than a dynamic
one: you'll notice that it installs libraw.a and libraw_r.a but no .so
file. Maybe there is a compilation flag to get it to install a .so but I
didn't investigate.

There is also a possibility that I didn't do the test properly so a
confirmation by someone else would be good :-)

If you want to try with a file that exhibits the behaviour, here's one
posted to the ubuntu-uk mailing list:
http://marsters.co.uk/shotwell/eos60d-samples.tar.gz

With libraw 0.9.1 it shows the purple stripe, with 0.12.2 it displays
the photograph properly.
