** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Users are unable to use Rapid Photo Downloader (RPD) for its intended
+ purpose: to download photos from mounted SD cards or other camera
+ storage media. This is due to the move from /media to /run/media for
+ mounted drives, presumably by the move to dracut.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ With rapid-photo-downloader installed:
+ 
+ - Start RPD
+ - Insert an SD card to an SD card reader, however that is connected.
+ - Attempt to select a drive.
+ 
+ Expected:
+ - Drive is selected
+ 
+ Actual:
+ - Drive is not even seen.
+ 
+ [What could go wrong]
+ 
+ The included patch is a relatively large one considering the change that
+ needs to happen, which is a decent area of concern. However, in order to
+ keep it compatible with distributions that do not use /run/media, an
+ intelligent way to search for mount directories had to be implemented.
+ 
+ [Original Bug]
+ 
  Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04, mounted SD cards do not get detected
  any more.
  
  This is due to Ubuntu's move from /media to /run/media in 26.04; RPD
  reads the OS and determines the mount path from that. The logic has not
  been updated yet to reflect the change in media mount directory.
