[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

A newer upstream version of fswebcam, 20101118-1, is available in Debian unstable. This can probably be synced.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The new version got synced since but that's still an issue, it's likely Debian will have the issue as well so ideally the bug should be sent to the BTS

[Daniel Polehn (dpolehn-gmail)]

the fix for this should be in 20101118-2 waiting for that to get uploaded.

[Daniel Polehn (dpolehn-gmail)]

just submited lp:802189 requesting someone to sink with debian. I am not able to do this.
