Subject: gspca has been removed from Debian, closing #500908

Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2009 23:17:37 +0100

Version: 01.00.20-1+rm

The gspca package has been removed from Debian so we are closing
the bugs that were still opened against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/519463 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.

Kind regards,
