gphoto2 on powerpc [was: gphoto2 segfaults on my iBook]
Sorry for the delay before noticing this thread.
I am the maintainer of gphoto2 and also a gphoto project member.
The situation is the following:
. The libusb package currently in sid IS broken.
see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=170440
. The problem is not new and was already there with the previous package
but I did a binary upload to fix the problem (I should certainly not
have done so).
. The problem (bug) is triggered by the way the package is build. The
easy fix is to remove the use of the arch-dependant build directory.
That's what do a patch I proposed a long time ago in the BTS (and you
can still find it in the bug entry cited above).
. The correct fix would be to find the bug. I have done some work on
that some times ago but the auto{conf,make,...} stuff make it difficult.
If someone is willing to do some bug hunting, please do so.
I have placed working libusb packages here:

Note that I am not the libusb maintainer where the bug is.
