gimp @2.10.8_0 unable to open jpeg files due to crashing file-jpeg plug-in due

[ivanschou]

Attempts to open JPEG files in Gimp 2.10.8 results in an error message.

Running "gimp-console --verbose My_Image.JPG" results in the following details:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type Exiv2::BasicError<char>: No namespace info available for XMP prefix `DICOM'
/opt/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg: fatal error: Abort trap: 6
gimp-console: LibGimpBase-WARNING: gimp-console: gimp_wire_read(): error

GIMP-Error: Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg"
(/opt/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg)

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

Searching Google results in a closed bug report from gimp:

Both gimp2 and exiv2 compile file without error. Attempted to force uninstall and reinstall of both gimp and exiv2.

Using latest build of MacPort from git on MacBook running Mojave with exiv2 @0.27_0, gimp @2.10.8_0, gimp2 @2.10.8_2+python27, and gimp-app @2.8.2_2.
