Anthony Towns, It appears that you can help me with the following problem: gphoto2 in testing need a libusb package more recent that the one currently in testing. This situation is due to a missing shlibs info in the libusb currently in testing. This is fixed in libusb in sid and gphoto2 in sid is build against this updated libusb. I was hoping that the situation will solved itself when updated packages entered in woody but this is not happening. I see two solutions : . upgrade of libusb and packages depending on it . removing gphoto2 from testing and fixing the problem which causes libusb to not be updated (I don't undersatnd what is specific in alpha). Could you do something here ?
