Comment 11 for bug 1730150

This bug stops access to cameras. Why wasn't this fixed in 17.10? - which I'm still using - thanks for the indication it might be fixed in 18.04.

What happened summery :

Note: that the actual bug was fixed a long time ago, the compile of that source code was not added to 17.10. The longevity and constant repeat of introducing this bug, is due to the slow uptake of fixes.

Even though they are reported and diagnosed relatively quickly. The updated compiled version is not getting through the system. A particularly bad example of this was a virtual machine bug in 17.04, that wasn't minor but still the fix didn't get in.

Please, if anyone can, inform Canonical Management to see if they can ameliorate this situation somehow, perhaps add a resource to fast track minor bug fixes through the build to release procedure...
