I'm the (main) maintainer of gphoto2, but I'm currently in vacation; I will be
back in mid-September. Sorry for the inconvenience.

In what version of gphoto2 was it fixed? Do you have some link to give?

Currently, unstable has 2.4.11 (the latest released tarball), and it was
released in mid-April. Do you mean that by "long ago"? :)

Furthermore, I ask you to file a proper bug using "reportbug gphoto2", or
by reading http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting . That way we/I can properly
track the bug in our BTS, and record everything there.

Thank you,
David Paleino
