You can deal with this for yourself by updating the file ~/.exiv2. Please read this issue report: http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/1368

Thanks, Robin, for your quick reply. I have just found out, that my darktable build uses exiv2 v0.25 which doesn't support the config file yet.

Here is a link to the Darktable Release PPA: https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/ubuntu/darktable-release
and to the Unstable PPA: https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/ubuntu/darktable-unstable

both containing the exiv2 v 0.25

It is not a big issue for me, since this is the only lens I have which is not identified properly :)

That's the same situation that was reported yesterday in #1368. I added the ~/.exiv2 feature in v0.26 because I get many requests to add new lens recognition. I didn't really understand the discussion here: https://discuss.pixls.us/t/darktable-on-ubuntu-18-04-exiv2-is-obsolete-any-ppa-snap-solving-this/8587/7

I'm working to release v0.27 RC1 at the moment and hope we'll get the v0.27 GM by Christmas. I expect the Linux distros will publish that in 2019 and darktable (and other applications such as GIMP, digiKam, GwenView, Shotwell) will release versions next year that use Exiv2 v0.27. Of course, you'll have to wait for this to appear and that shows the value of the ~/.exiv2 feature. Once you have that, you won't need to wait months/years to add a new lens.

Thanks for using darktable and Exiv2.

Sure, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for working on exiv2!
