This looks as if you're mixing vapigen and libvala of different
versions. Make sure you have only one version installed,
fix /etc/ld.so.conf, and/or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

FYI, I removed the PPA provided packages and downloaded the latest source (vala-0.7.2). I don't get the same errors from vapigen any more but I get the following instead:

someuser somehost:~$ vapigen --library libexif libexif/libexif.gi
error: The type name `Exif.ContentPrivate' could not be found
error: The type name `Exif.DataPrivate' could not be found
error: The type name `Exif.EntryPrivate' could not be found
Generation failed: 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I am not sure I got the namespace right. Where can I get more information about the namespaces file used by vapigen (or does anyone understand what went wrong this time)?

Ps. I guess the first errors originate from "<field name="priv" type="ExifContentPrivate*"/>" in the snippet of gi-definition below:
