[Bug 981062] [NEW] gphoto fails to download image from camera

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

libgphoto2-2 should be upgraded to the latest version - 2.4.14

[Impact]

Users of Canon EOS (Rebel) series cameras cannot download images
remotely from their cameras to their computers.

[Test Case]

The command:-

gphoto --capture-image-and-download

causes the camera takes a photo, but then gphoto hangs.  If I use Ctl-C
to stop gphoto, I get:-

ERROR: Could not get image.
ERROR: Buggy libcanon.so?

The result should be that gphoto downloads the image to the PC and
deletes it on the camera.

This works again if libgphoto2 is upgraded to version 2.4.14, which is
available in Quantal.

[Regression Potential]

The potential for regression will be limited by the fact that it only
affects libgphoto users.  Worst case is that other cameras may stop
working if a new, unkown bug is lurking in the library.

Bug was raised (and closed) on Sourceforge for the gphoto2 package and is visible at:-
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3541332&group_id=8874&atid=108874

Apparently, this bug was inserted into 2.4.13 which has since been fixed in 2.4.14
The latest (pre 2.4.13) version I used was 2.4.11 in Oneric, which also works.
