v4l-utils (0.8.5-1) unstable; urgency=low Beginning with this release libv4l-0 will support multiarch on Debian. As a result of the new triplet library directory you need to update any preload paths. For example on an amd64 system the following line LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so must be changed into LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so Additionally libv4l-dev packages will drop the static libraries in a future upload. If you have a good use case for static libraries where the shared ones are not sufficient, please file a wishlist bug report. -- Gregor Jasny Sat, 09 Jul 2011 19:12:38 +0200
