Package: libgphoto2-2 Version: 2.4.0-7.shai Severity: normal Tags: patch
Version 2.4.0 of libgphoto2 broke support for several Canon camares, it seems, by using a parameter CANON_FAST_TIMEOUT whose value seems to be set too low. The result is that libgphoto fails to connect to the camera, reporting something like Error (-114: 'OS error in camera communication') This is all reported in an upstream bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1790633&group_id=8874&atid=108874 The upstream bug includes a suggestion for a fix -- increase the timeout constant. The fix seems to have helped the original reporter, and he said so over two months ago; it seems to have corrected the problem completely for me. So I'm filing this bug, hoping to get the fix tested in debian as long as upstream hesitates. The fix: in file camlibs/canon/usb.c, line #75, instead of #define CANON_FAST_TIMEOUT 75 put #define CANON_FAST_TIMEOUT 750 Thanks, Shai. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libgphoto2-2 depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.7-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libexif12 0.6.16-2 library to parse EXIF files ii libgphoto2-port0 2.4.0-7.shai gphoto2 digital camera port librar ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libltdl3 1.5.24-1 A system independent dlopen wrappe Versions of packages libgphoto2-2 recommends: ii udev 0.114-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
