Package: libgphoto2-2 Version: 2.4.10.1-5 Severity: important I just run into the permission problem with libphoto2-2, and I was almost sure that I did not have this problem with the last versions.
I have read README.Debian.gz and had a look at 60-libgphoto2-2.rules and now I think that something is really wrong with the concept. Or: why are MODE and GROUP not part of the rules line for PTP devices, something like: MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev" ? README.Debian.gz text is even more confusing. Since udev rule obviously detects generic PTP devices, then the permissions should be set right away. And if that is not the case then README.Debian should tell more details, i.e. the REAL rationale behind this mess. The current solution is not user-friendly. If there is secret knowledge involved (requiring a decission from the user) then there might be a debconf dialog or some other means of interaction. And for the sake of completeness: my cam is a simple PTP device (ID 04a9:31f7 Canon, Inc.).
