I've compiled libexif-0.6.10, which is required for gimp2. The old version was 5.12-27. It compiles, goes through checkinstall and rpm fine. However, apt-get is having trouble because a lot of packages depend on libexif.so.9. The new package provides libexif.so.10. I haven't stumbled on a way to satisfy this yet. I've tried specifying everything I can think of in the checkinstall parameters. The checkinstall doc's are pretty light in this area. Any help?
