The File->Show_missing_helpers
menu item in the recoll GUI mentions the following missing helper (among others):
Perl::Image::ExifTool (image/gif image/jpeg image/png image/tiff image/x-xcf)
Per the recoll user manual I installed the perl image exif tool (and library):
sudo aptitude install libimage-exif-perl libimage-exiftool-perl
but recoll still lists the missing helper and fails to index images.
