Comment 24 for bug 838739

I'm also affected by this bug, but I'm using Debian, not Ubuntu :) Crawling the web for this bug, I encountered this bug and the libv4l PPA suggestion was particulary helpful (thanks!).

I've tried to find why and it seems that the libv4l PPA version links against libjpeg62, while the Oneiric one against libjpeg8 and that may be the culprit. Debian's libv4l source package is almost identical with the PPA one; the only difference I could see on the binaries was the libjpeg transition and that seems to fit the description of the problem.

[ I've added the distribution link to the Debian bug, in which I've also sent my findings; I thought it'd be helpful to also add a comment here. ]
