<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m the author of an <a href="https://github.com/greiginsydney/Intervalometerator/blob/master/docs/upgrade.md">
open-source timelapse camera controller</a> app that uses python-gphoto2 to talk to DSLR cameras over USB. The hardware platform is the Raspberry Pi.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Python-gphoto2 relies upon the ‘development headers’ build of ligbphoto2, and I’ve been historically installing that on the Pi with “apt-get install libgphoto2-dev”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is currently built on v2.5.22 which was released in January 2019, and my app is now falling behind in support for cameras released since then as a result.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My attempts to update this have failed, so I was wondering if there’s a means by which someone can petition for an updated version – or perhaps it already exists and I’m just not finding it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve struggled to find a documented process to create my own ‘development headers’ build by hand. I was able to locate Debian’s “<a href="https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libdevel/libgphoto2-dev">Package: libgphoto2-dev (2.5.27-1)</a>”
but my attempts to install it failed when I hit a brick wall getting the dependency for libc6 to install:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">The following packages have unmet dependencies:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">libc6 : Depends: libgcc-s1 but it is not installable<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""> Depends: libcrypt1 but it is not installable<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""> Recommends: libnss-nisplus but it is not installable<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is “libgphoto2<u>-dev</u>” being actively updated or is it stalled/abandoned? Should the latter be the case, I’d greatly appreciate any links or pointers to how I might be able ‘roll my own’ installation.<o:p></o:p></p>
