Eric,
Thanks for the response. I think you may be on to something, since at
one point I did try compiling and installing ivtv from source.
As I understand it, compiled programs are generally in /usr/local/bin or
/usr/local/sbin, while RPMs are deposited in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin.
I've got a bunch of ivtv stuff in /usr/local/bin which would seem to
indicate that the compiled ivtv binaries are in use, yet when I run an
apt-get install ivtv it tells me I'm already at the latest version. I
would think that apt-get would only know about stuff it has "gotten".
How did you get the compiled version off your system cleanly and
reinstall from RPM using apt-get? Thanks again.
