gphoto2 problem [SOLVED]

I don't know what is happening, but suddenly (or rather after one of the updates),camera support stopped working.

Now, digikam is complaining that it cannot access the camera, though I know it got recognized successfully. The usb mountpoints are set up, and gphoto2 sees the camera as both root and normal user.

[neuro@wintermute:~] gphoto2 --summary -a
Detected a 'Canon:PowerShot A95 (normal mode)'.
Camera summary:

Delete files on camera support   : yes
File preview (thumbnail) support : yes
File upload support              : no

The thing is, I cannot download anything. No images, not even the thumbnails. I get this wicked error, and don't really know what it means. It never happened before.

While trying to download all files from the image folder, I get:

[neuro@wintermute:~/photo] gphoto2 -f '/DCIM/100CANON' -P

Downloading 'IMG_0001.JPG' from folder '/DCIM/100CANON'...

As for more details, when runnign with --debug I get

Any ideas what went wrong?

Re: gphoto2 problem [SOLVED]

Alright, I was using libgphoto2 2.1.99-2. This problem accured there.
After doing today's update, I've noticed that ligphoto was reverted to 2.1.6-6. This fixed the problem with both gphoto2 and digikam.

On the topic of the GP_SYSTEM_IS_FILE error, I've found this useful.
