Chris, I (christophe) am the packager of gphoto2. The bug you mention is not related with the NEW problem. It is impossible to compile something working (gphoto2 or something else) with the current libusb packages. This is not your fault at all. I can't explain it but something goes wrong between what libusb.so provides and what a freshly compiled program expects. Everything in my machine is uptodated so I am pretty sure it is reproductible and not specific to gphoto2 (but perhaps x86 specific). With the same source and the same debian directory, the resulting package is broken (give you a nice segfault) if you use the standard libusb package and is perfectly working is you previously rebuild the libusb package (whitout any modification). I have traced the problem with gdb and it segfault when using the usb_busses structure (a linked list). I believe we need a recompiled libusb and to rebuild all depending packages against this new package. If the problem is not in woody (libc or gcc older, or ...) then we need to build all packages under woody.
