v4lctl show color return undefined symbol: tan

it is not related to bug 778292
ld --as-needed used to compile it and its dependencies dropped the libm link which these plugins directly needed but only linked indirectly.
The fix is to simply link them explicitly. Additionally conv-mjpeg is missing a link against libjpeg.

This bug was fixed in the package xawtv - 3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu5

---------------
xawtv (3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu5) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Add 104_fix_plugin_links.dpatch: (LP: #821916)
    - link some plugins against libm and libjpeg

And where is it released exactly, is it possible to get it or will it be automatically included in the normal updates? If yes, have you an idea of the time this may takes?
Thanks

the fix was released in the ubuntu development version 11.10 oneiric.
But I'm not sure it will fix your skype problem, it only fixes the linking of these two plugins in xawtv.

can you test it in natty or oneiric, and report back it solves your problem.

To build and install the fix in natty do:
apt-get install devscripts equivs
dget -ux https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/xawtv_3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu5.dsc
cd xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1/
mk-build-deps -i -r
dch -b -v "3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu4.1~natty1" -m "test backport"
debuild -us -uc
#install all packages
debi ../xawtv_3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu4.1~natty1_amd64.changes
apt-get install -f
# or install only selected packages use these listed by: ls -ltr ../*deb with the tool of your choice

to remove the build dependencies again use: apt-get autoremove xawtv-build-deps

Thank you Julian for your detailed explanation, I've a workarround for the
skype problem but I tried this to check the fix. I got:

Everything ok until:
>dch -b -v "3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu4.1~natty1" -m "test backport"
dch warning: new version (3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu4.1~natty1) is less than
the current version number (3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu5).

>debuild -us -uc
issue a bunch of warnings (really an awful lot)

Then I changed:
>debi ../xawtv_3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu4.1~natty1_amd64.changes
for
>deb ../xawtv_3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu4.1~natty1_i386.changes
as I use a ubuntu 32 bit version (it's a pretty old computer)

Then in ..
sudo apt-get install ./*deb
That issues a lot of
E: No se encontró la Distribución
«xawtv-tools_3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu4.1~natty1_i386.deb»
and an awful lot of these with various
****3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu4.1~natty1_i386.deb

Then actually the tan problem disappear:
v4lctl show color
ioctl: VIDIOC_G_STD(std=0xbfa44e480000005c
[PAL_G,PAL_H,PAL_I,PAL_D1,(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null)]):
Invalid argument
fixme: 404 color

It also fix the impossibility to set move the Bright and the Contrast in the
graphic interface of xawtv.

However the Gamma and the Sharpness cannot be changed "up" should I open an
other but for this?
