20 I think the issue here is that we are not understanding what the
21 problem is. It happens with an application in particular, or with a
22 desktop environment? It happens when you try to umount the device, or
23 when you disconnect it from the computer? Do you loose data in the
24 camera, or when transferring photos to your computer? Or is only that
25 you don't like the error reported?
26
27 udisks is deprecated and (AFAIK) unmaintained. Do you *really* need
28 it? Or perhaps is being pulled by a package that actually supports
29 udisks2, but you have a USE flag that pulls udisks1?
30
31 In GNOME, if you have gvfs with the gdu USE flag, it pulls libgdu,
32 which pulls udisks1. But you don't actually need it; everything is
33 covered by the udisks USE flag (which pulls udisks2).
34
35 Do a "equery depends udisks" and see what is pulling udisks1.
36
37 Regards.
