Title:
  Cannot open HEIF/HEIC images in 23.04/lunar anymore

Status in eog package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in gdk-pixbuf package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in libheif package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In previous Ubuntu versions, including 22.10, I was able to open
  HEIF/HEIC files by installing libheif1 and heif-gdk-pixbuf. This does
  not work anymore in 23.04.

  Running eog in a terminal displays:
  $ eog IMG_9996.HEIC

  ** (eog:44492): WARNING **: 14:29:17.537: Cannot read plugin
  directory.

  (eog:44492): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: 14:29:17.537:

  gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_get_pixbuf: assertion
  'GDK_IS_PIXBUF_ANIMATION_ITER (iter)' failed

  eog then shows "Could not load image “IMG_9996.HEIC”. Image loading
  failed."

  
  gpicview even crashes immediately:
  $ gpicview IMG_9996.HEIC
  Gtk-Message: 14:30:30.216: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

  ** (gpicview:44624): WARNING **: 14:30:30.260: Cannot read plugin
  directory.

  ** (gpicview:44624): WARNING **: 14:30:30.265: Cannot read plugin directory.
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  
  The problem concerns all HEIF/HEIC images I tested.

  The installed versions of the (possibly) relevant packages are:
  libheif1: 1.14.2-1
  heif-gdk-pixbuf: 1.14.2-1
  libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0: 2.42.10+dfsg-1build1
  eog: 44.0-1
  gpicview: 0.2.5-3build1
