A few minutes after running a software update, per the little
prompt in the top menu bar, a pop-up appeared saying an application
wants to turn on my camers. There is no camera, at least not a
permanent one. I've been copying photos off an old Canon A460
to the Pi, but it can't take photos over its USB connection so
far as I know (would be handy if it could!).

Anybody know what might be going on? The systme is running Bookworm,
up to date as of a minute ago. 

Thanks for reading,
