We stumbled on this too and are looking into it: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/7593
No hope for precise (the 12.04.3 release is just 1 month old ) ?
Ok, it worked out after the fix. Thanks guys!
Hi There!
Thanks for Shotwell 0.15! I can hardly wait to check its new features.
Unfortunately, my Quantal installation does not meet its dependencies.
‘sudo apt-get install shotwell’ says:
> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
> shotwell : Depends: libgee-0.8-2 (>= 0.8.3) but it is not going to be installed
> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Any ideas where to get a current libgee from?
Cheers, Stefan
After upgrading from .12 on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) it threw this error on launch:
shotwell: error while loading shared libraries: libgexiv2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Looks like bug 5965 addressed this issue in shotwell .13 and the fix was:
sudo apt-get install libgexiv2-1
which did fix the problem.
No support for precise?? 🙁
Do we have the chance to get a new version for windows?
thanks
sandra
We stopped porting Shotwell to Windows a long time ago. There’s no plan for porting it again.
Hello, folks.
Thanks for developing Shotwell! If I understood correctly, Shotwell 0.15 support for Ubuntu Precise was not planned due to the obsolescence of the libs, above all libgee, for this Ubuntu release (cfr. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.shotwell/4352).
However the Vala development team published libgee-0.8 in their PPA (https://launchpad.net/~vala-team/+archive/ppa)
Would be anyway possible to install Shotwell on Precise using those libgee-0.8 precise libs?
Thanks and regards.

I believe the problem is not so much libgee as it is GTK. Shotwell 0.15 requires GTK+ 3.6 and Precise only has 3.4.
How can i update it on elementaryos, based on precise 12.04 ?
thx
I would recommend talking with the elementary people about this.
Any chance to get a static bin so we could run shotwell on centos/SL/Rhel.
Thanks in advance.
