Failed to list files in /camera

Sorry about that. It seems strange that X would not run when those entries 
were removed as they were not exactly vital or anything. Then again, I am 
from the "hack it and see" school not the "I grok the details" one.

My hair rustles faintly in the breeze as this issue streaks over my head :)

Here I can give a theory lesson, but have no practical examples:

How to downgrade stuff:
1. <x> is too high a version number.
2. apt-cache showpkg <x>
Look for the version number in the Versions section at the top. Find an older 
one.
OR
Find the version number in some other way
3. sudo aptitude install <x> = version_number
That's the magic line, the equals sign is the trick.
