Package: libgphoto2-2
Version: 2.1.5-2
Severity: normal

When trying my Canon IXUS 500 camera on my laptop, I was confused
because hotplug/hal/udev/gnome-volume-manager/gthumb and friends didn't
do the appropriate magic that should happen when you plug in a supported
camera, although I was able to access it with the command line or gtkam.

After a while of poking around, I realised this was because the
/etc/hotplug/usb/libgphoto2-2.usermap had been generated when I first
installed libgphoto2-2, and that support for my camera had been added
later. Re-running print-usb-usermap added tens of new cameras to the
list, and the utopia magic started working correctly.

To take account of all new supported cameras, print-usb-usermap should
always be run when libgphoto is upgraded, not just the first time it's
installed. This could be done by simply removing the conditional
execution (if [ ! -e /etc/hotplug/usb/$PACKAGE.usermap ]) in the
postinst script.

Regards,
Rob
