[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#922379: Bug#922379: libgphoto2: shuts down Sony cameras upon initialization

[Herbert Fortes]

Hi Ferenc,

> Source: libgphoto2
> Version: 2.5.22-2
> Severity: important
> Tags: upstream patch
> 
> Dear Maintainer,
> 
> I successfully used gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor to download photos from
> my Sony Alpha 5000 under jessie, but libgphoto2 broke for that camera in
> stretch (I don't know the exact version).  This regression has just been
> fixed upstream in commit f1e3b5ae8f9d8258db9a19861749b2bb6ad57b1e.  The
> patch applies cleanly to 2.5.22 and fixes the issue for me; judging by
> the issues referenced in the commit other users are affected as well.
> Please include this fix in buster if at all possible!  Having a 2.5.23
> would be best of course, but I've got no idea when that will happen.
> A quilt patch would still have a chance to reach buster, though.
