Re: Request for testers for new gphoto package
Hi, Quoting Paul Slootman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): snip dependency problems (gphoto2 depends on libusb1, which isn't there) There's some problem there... Apparently libusb1 was removed a couple of weeks ago. PS: Please send copies to me and not to the list, in order to not clobber it (I'm not subscribed so keep that in mind) To the list anyway to prevent others from running into the same problem and wasting their time. I've been using gphoto2 for a while now. 'libusb1' is not present, 'libusb0' is, and works fine with gphoto2. If someone does want to try the package, try it with libusb0 installed, and maybe a pseudopackage providing libusb1 to fix the depends. Maybe the gphoto2 maintainder should depend on libusb0 instead ? Greets, Robert -- Linux Generation encrypted mail preferred. finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for my GnuPG/PGP key.

Looks like cut paste... Tip: always test whether you can also actually remove the package before releasing it on an unsuspecting public. Paul Slootman
