[SOLVED] Webcam not working after xorg upgrade

Unread post by mirix » Wed Aug 28, 2013 10:36 am

Digging a bit in the issue, I have found:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xserver-xorg-video-v4l : Depends: xorg-video-abi-8.0 but it is not installable

It seems that xserver-xorg-video-v4l depends on xorg-video-abi-8.0, which is provided by xserver-xorg-core, but that has been renamed to xorg-video-abi-8.

Well, in my case it also wanted to upgrade the Linux kernel in the same way... ;-)

Wouldn't that be a dream? A X-less system and a kernel-less system!
