        @Fish So you have a /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports/camera.ubports folder? That's not right, and might be at the root of this issue.

        can you do a

        ls -al /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports
        

        and then

        ls -al /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports/camera.ubports
        

        and paste both results here?

            @Fish said in Camera app cannot be installed:

            I have the camera.ubports directory in the /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports folder

            So in fact you do not have a camera.ubports directory in the /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports folder, but in the /usr/share/click/preinstalled folder.

            Can you please go to your home folder and try:

            sudo cp -R /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports /opt/click.ubuntu.com/
            

            then if it is copied properly

            sudo chown -R clickpkg:clickpkg /opt/click.ubuntu.com/camera.ubports

              @arubislander Mh... it looks like nothing is going to happen. It just appears again: phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$

                @Fish Yes, if the copying succeeds it doesn't give any feedback, but the folder should be there under /usr/share/click/preinstalled /opt/click.ubuntu.com/. Have you checked?

                  @arubislander Oh yes, it's there. I've just checked.

                    Unfortunately, this had no effect on the (non-)existence of the camera app...

                    So ... No solution in sight. Well. Maybe I'll think of something later. I'll leave the thread unsolved and if anyone else has an idea - always welcome. I'll check in from time to time. As long as there's no camera in the cell phone.

                      @Fish Sorry to be late to the party, and I haven´t read the whole thread... but I had a similar problem and these messages from @danfro fixed it for me:

                      Basically we need to get rid of everything named "camera" in /opt and /home

                      You could delete camera apps settings as well as the cache.
                      ~/.config/camera.ubports
                      Not many settings there anyway. Although I do not really expect that to change much.

                      And so I asked him, on your behalf, and he gave me this:

                      Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                        @Moem That worked! Wonderful! I am really pleased. Problem solved. The camera app simply reappeared after restarting the phone.

                        Steps (in the link):
                        1 open terminal app
                        2. Find the files:
                        sudo find /opt -iname *camera*
                        3. remove all files of that app that are listed
                        sudo rm -r PATH
                        4. reboot the device
