<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Usually, installing something from
GetDeb is a bad idea, and installing a library from them is a very
very bad idea (considering that even some Debian devs do bad stuff
with library, I can't imagine how bad GetDeb can handle them ...).<br>
Also, upgrading a library localy (as you suggest) is also a bad
idea, because you need to check the incompatibility that could be
introduced, and maybe rebuild every packages which depend on it.
Dealing with packaging of a library is a very dangerous game for
the stability of the system. Also, don't assume the new (and
probably unstable judging by the version number) version will
solve all your problems by magic<br>

<font size="-1"><font size="-1">A related question
with the GetDeb source. (BTW, GetDeb is back up

The related camera control software is now at

the GetDeb available version is 0.4.x.<br>
