      @AppLee I have tried changing the channels. Unfortunately, the camera app is still missing ... and cannot be installed. It almost looks like there are no more photos for me now... 😖

          @arubislander I have tried this:

          cd /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/@all
          sudo rm camera.ubports
          

          The camera.ubports folder was then also gone.
          Unfortunately, this does not lead to the result either. Or the same as before...no camera app and no possibility to install it...

            Restarting the phone: the app is still gone, but the folder is back...

              What do you see when ls -la /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/@all after the reboot?

                lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Sept 21 1 1:12 camera.ubports -> /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports/4.0.6

                Before and after other app entries

                  Weird, I have:
                  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 juin 15 06:07 camera.ubports -> /opt/click.ubuntu.com/camera.ubports/4.0.6/

                  So basically there are two locations for the camera.
                  First in the preinstalled folder:
                  /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports
                  The other in the regular folder:
                  /opt/click.ubuntu.com/camera.ubports

                  What I would do is copy the data from the preinstalled folder to the regular folder then reset the links pointing to the regular folder.
                  Reboot and see what it did...

                    That does not work. Nothing is copied. Not even via the terminal. The error message -r not specified appears. However, the path to the destination is correct.

                      I suppose that apart from changing them, you installed the downloaded image, right?

                          This morning I tried to see if a new installation (without ticking the ‘wipe userdata’ box) would be successful. Unfortunately, the camera app is still gone and can no longer be installed... I don't understand this anymore. What is the reason for this? Surely it must be possible to reinstall this app somehow? There must be some very strange bug behind it!

                            Not necessarily a bug.
                            What one cannot comprehend is not an anomaly.

                            To understand better, you have to consider that core preinstalled apps have a particularity, they used to ship with the system image and could only be updated via a full system update.
                            Now they can also be updated through the open-store which is great but lead to some unexpected behavior with unplanned scenarios like removal of these apps.

                            The error message -r not specified appears. However, the path to the destination is correct.

                            That's a weird error message.
                            And I guess it should be possible to copy the files, I would dig in this direction if I were you.

                                @AppLee The copying has now worked. Apparently I have to write “sudo” in front of everything. But that didn't help either.

                                Well, with the bug I also meant that the camera app somehow removed itself. It was simply no longer there after the restart. And now I can no longer install it. That's kind of annoying.

                                  Oh, I thought you purposedly removed the camera app to try to reinstall it.
                                  Can you give us the exact command you typed?

                                    Im Verzeichnis /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports

                                      @Fish I get:

                                      cp: cannot stat 'camera.ubports': No such file or directory
                                      

                                      which is correct since there is no camera.ubports directory in the /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports folder, only 4.6.0 and current, which is a symlink to 4.6.0

                                        @arubislander I have the camera.ubports directory in the /usr/share/click/preinstalled/camera.ubports folder. But there was none in /opt/click.ubuntu.com/camera.ubports, where AppLee's folder ist located.

                                          @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?
