Title:
  Webcam stopped to work after installing updates on clean Ubuntu 12.10
  install

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  So I tried to reproduce the issue and I am now sure that installing all updates on the fresh 12.10 install brings a black picture to the webcam on my Acer Laptop.
  I tried Cheese and Skype on the fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 without updates - everything works just fine.
  After I have installed all of the 270+ updates my webcam just gives me a black picture in both Cheese and Skype and the LED is flashing just as usually.
  So updates seem to affect the functionality of my webcam.
