Package: libv4l-0
Version: 0.8.5-3
Severity: normal

Hi.

To (partly¹) solve the problem of an upside-down video image in Skype (deb
from Skype's website) I use the solution documented for example at:
* http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=49507
* http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/8262.html

i.e. I add "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" to my ~/.profile and
export LD_PRELOAD. Now, this did not work anymore, because the file has been
moved to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so

I adapted my ~/.profile accordingly, but when trying to preload the library I
get:

----8<----
andreas@halucigenia:~$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
skype
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be
preloaded: ignored.
---->8----

Workaround: when creating a symlink (ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l
/usr/lib/libv4l) it works again, so it seems some hardcoded path is still
pointing to the old location?

Kind regards

Andreas

¹actually, the "fix" just flips the video image on top, i.e. it is still
mirrored, not properly turned by 180°.
