I'm not entirely sure what you want. I mean, shotwell tells you the
gexiv2 it needs. F16 clearly doesn't have that version. We're not likely
to bump F16's gexiv2 just so you can build a new shotwell for yourself.

Your options appear to be 'build gexiv2 yourself' or 'give up'. Life
sucks, but hey, I'm not sure what else anyone can do.
