[Pkg-shotwell-maint] Bug#742083: [shotwell] No video thumbnails due to binary location

[Cihan Altinay]

Package: shotwell
Version: 0.15.0-2+b1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Shotwell does not produce thumbnails for imported videos.
The shotwell log output shows why:

L 17506 2014-03-15 22:16:28 [DBG] VideoSupport.vala:232: Launching 
thumbnailer process: /usr/share/shotwell/shotwell-video-thumbnailer
L 17506 2014-03-15 22:16:28 [DBG] VideoSupport.vala:232: Launching 
thumbnailer process: /usr/share/shotwell/shotwell-video-thumbnailer
L 17506 2014-03-15 22:16:28 [DBG] VideoSupport.vala:239: Error spawning 
process: Failed to execute child process 
"/usr/share/shotwell/shotwell-video-thumbnailer" (No such file or directory)


Indeed, dpkg -L shotwell shows that the binary is installed in /usr/bin.
I added a symlink to /usr/share/shotwell and the video thumbnails are 
generated correctly.
