Note that eog-plugins have the version 3.26.8, while EOG itself has
version 40.3 -- in other words, a mismatch.  There is to my knowledge
no eog-plugins release for 40.3, but there are release candidates for
42.  Apart from that, it would appear that the plugin installation path
changed from lib/ to share/, but we could add our own lib-respecting
plugin path to eog with a patch or snippet once we have corresponding
eog-plugins again.

Cheers

Hello, Liliana. Thank you for looking into this.

Indeed, the latest stable release of eog-plugins is 3.26.8 per
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/eog-plugins/-/blob/master/NEWS

If this is of any help, I looked into Debian and Fedora installations.
Fedora uses eog-plugins version 3.26.8 with eog 41.1, and Debian uses
eog-plugins 3.26.5 with eog 3.38.2. The plugins seem to be installed to
/usr/lib64/eog/plugins on Fedora and to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/eog/plugins on Debian. For your reference, I attach my lookup on
Fedora of where the map plugin installs its files and a look at the
plugins directory contents.

Hello, Roman and Liliana, thanks for the report and explain.

I have fixed this issue in commit b769fe7f756 by symlink the plugins
directory in eog-plugins from lib/ to share/.
