I've ever seen.

 Same here;

[root at domain bartender /tmp]# gphoto2 --auto-detect --port usb: -n
and there
Model Port
----------------------------------------------------------
Canon PowerShot A20 usb:
canon_initialize()
Debug level: 1
Unknown camera! ()
Status: Camera unavailable
Status: Could not obtain directory listing
gPhoto2 reported the error 'Unspecified error'
[root at domain bartender /tmp]#
