[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#683110: gphoto: Patch available for USB 3.0 problems

[Kjetil Kjernsmo]

Package: gphoto2
Version: 2.4.14-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch, fixed-upstream
Followup-For: Bug #683110

Dear Maintainer,

I asked about this on IRC as it bit me, and the answer is that there is a trivial fix for it: 

 http://www.lst.de/~mm/libgphoto2-no-clearhalt.patch   

I'm bumping the severity to important, as it essentially croaks, but I think it should be bumped to Grave, as within the lifetime of Wheezy, I would expect that some will not have access to USB 2.0 ports and thus make libgphoto2 useless for those. And I don't see any reason why Wheezy should be released with a known bug with a seemingly trivial patch.

If I understand upstream correctly, the problem is not in libusb.

Cheers,

Kjetil
