Package: gphoto2
Version: 2.4.14-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Upon mounting my Nikon D300 camera in PTP/MTP mode to download photos using
either Darktable or Dolphin, the card-activity light on the camera does not
blink or turn on and the applications fail to load any data from the camera.

Darktable 1.2.3 (from backports) sees the camera and gives option to import
photos, but upon clicking 'import' the application hangs while trying to
communicate with the camera, and no card activity light. Need to terminate the
process to exit from Darktable.

KDE shows a popup and gives option to open the camera files with Dolphin, but
after trying to fetch contents from the camera, on the status bar it says
"Unknown error code 150. Bad parameters. Please file a bug report."

I have already added the "Nikon DSC D300 (PTP mode)" model to the Digital
Camera page in the System Settings in KDE.

After closing all applications and disconnecting the camera and browsing
through the files on the camera I have noticed that some images are missing. I
have not manually deleted any, so can strongly suspect data loss is occurring
due to this bug. As a professional photographer missing or corrupt images will
put a halt to production, hence this bug is marked as grave.
