[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#529704: can no longer download photos from RAM on Canon Powershot S50

Package: gphoto2
Version: 2.4.5-2

I have a Canon Powershot S50, and I use gphoto2 with the standard hook script to
have it function as a webcam.  But some recent upgrade seems to have messed up
the ability to download photos from the RAM.  When I run the script everything
seems to go just as before, except that the photos don't download to the camera.
 The file just doesn't appear.

Downgrading to version 2.4.0-1 (and downgrading the gphoto2 libraries
appropriately as well) seems to restore the previous functionality.

I don't think I really know how to diagnose this, but if there are any tests I
can run to help out please let me know.  I've attached the scripts I use to run
the webcam in case they can be of any help.
