[Bug 1528955] Re: Camera app can be uninstalled permanently.

 

This is usually because the camera in the store depends on a version of the framework higher than the version on your device. This can happen if :
- you didn't upgrade to latest OTA and a new version of the camera has been published to the store, 
- or a newer version of the camera has been published to the store before the new framework is available on stable (in this case it's a mistake to have published the app)

It is not a bug in the camera but a limitation of the click store.

Title:
  Camera app can be uninstalled permanently.

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in Software Center Agent:
  Invalid
Status in camera-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I do long-tapping on the camera app icon, the app store is opened, showing the camera app's descrition.
  Then it is possible to click on "Uninstall" to unistall the camera app.
  After that the camera app is uninstalled and no photos can be taken, so far so good.

  But then it is not possible to reinstall the camera app, because the
  app can't be found in app store by searching for "camera".

  This happened on Nexus 4 in stable channel.
  This did NOT happen on Nexus 4 in rc-proposed channel.
  This happened on  Aquaris E4.5.
