[Bug 2035406] Re: udev update has broken ubuntu's ability to import photos in digikam, gphoto2 can no longer see usb camera, entangle can no longer see camera

[Philip A Swiderski Jr]

In order to roll back udev in Synaptic, I get 
To Be Removed
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev
libgudev-1.0-dev
libnm0:i386
libpipewire-0.3-0:i386
libpipewire-0.3-modules:i386
libspa-0.2-modules:i386
libudev-dev
libudev1:i386
pipewire:i386
steam:i386
To be downgraded
libudev1

I cant roll back or lose functionality and software. Im not sure how all
this works together, but that update really messed things up, and I am
no Programmer or Engineer, but normally I can with a little bit of
digging, figure things out, but this has me very confused, as none of
this should be tied together, and the bug has to do with how udev
handles protocols for camera to software, because the computer can in
fact see the camera when attached, the software is simply blocked from
seeing the camera. USB harddrive not affected, I tried to reprogram my
hand held Ham radio via usb, worked fine, it simply between what ever
protocols ubuntu, udev and software packages use to see and communicate
with cameras. And as a digital creator, this is a huge issue for me. If
I do a fresh install I lose another 2 days getting everything back up
running, not to mention I dont have extra drives right now for backing
up, nor the funds to buy one, also the reason I have yet to, is if I do,
and go to update, and this all happens again, then I am further behind.
So I am trying to figure out how this update broke my system, and fix it
so it is right.
