Description Scott Alfter 2015-04-28 15:37:17 UTC 
zbarcam has problems working with certain UVC webcams (in my case, a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema).  A patch will be attached shortly (cribbed from the Arch Linux bugtracker) that fixes this problem.  I already have an updated ebuild in my overlay:

Reproducible: Always
