Always get version 2.5.12 of libphoto2

[Seeelefant]

Dear gonzalo, I try to use your ghoto2-updater on a Raspberry Pi 3B, but with whatever option I run your script I always get

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ gphoto2 --version
gphoto2 2.5.20.1

Probably relates to #69 Tried the script and got version 2.5.15

Your issue is probably because you have another version of gphoto2 installed (ex. from apt). This script used to run apt-get remove gphoto2 libgphoto2*, but does not anymore because it caused the removal of important packages for some users. You can try and use this command to fix your issues, but just check to make sure it doesn't remove something like ubuntu-desktop. It will ask for a confirmation first before doing anything.

Dear gonzalo, now I found that Raspbian comes with libphoto2 in the /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ directory, so building ghoto2 from sources with --libdir= /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ fixes this problem. Maybe you can incorperate this in your update script. Best --Seeelefant

Uninstalling libgphoto2 is another option. sudo apt purge libgphoto2 -y

When I try to purge libgphoto2 on my raspy I get an 'Unable to locate package' error. Is there any other way to uninstall?

Hi Seeelefant

I still stuck in the libgphoto2 2.5.12 as your problem. Can you tell me the step to solve this thing? I need to update to 2.5.22

Thanks

Hi Heinnn, you have to build libphoto2 as described there from the sources with the option --libdir= /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ Best --Seeelefant

Sorry for being unavailable to keep this project properly maintained latelly. I hope to have some time in a close future.
