How to install uvcdynctrl on Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye

Problem

You are trying to install uvcdynctrl on Raspberry Pi OS bullseye version using

example.sh
sudo apt -y install uvcdynctrl

the system can’t find the package:

example.txt
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package uvcdynctrl

Solution

The uvcdynctrl package is not available in the standard Raspberry Pi OS repository, but only in the bullseye-backports repository.

In order to solve the problem, activate the backports repository:

Add the following lines at the end of /etc/apt/sources.list:

example.txt
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main contrib non-free

After that, run

example.sh
sudo apt update

and finally, try to install uvcdynctrl again:

example.sh
sudo apt -y install uvcdynctrl
