Good.

Dunno what that is.  Post the results of:
  ls ~
  ls -l ~

rpmdrake uses the urpm backend which stats all mount points.  If you
have some hung mount point, it would do weird things, but this seems a
little excessive.

Personally, I would uninstall all gphoto2 rpms.  If you've done it from
source, try a 'make uninstall' in the source directory.  It may work, it
may not.

Then reboot and go through an "upgrade".  It really should not install
anything, but it will rewrite a few config files.  Without looking at
your machine, I have no ideas at this point.
