Updated my script to read
# You might try installing guvcview package

Thank you for the update.

I added zoom to my RPM database using the above links. The only thing
to watch is that the name "zoom" is already there, for a program to
download text-type games (e.g. "choose your own adventure.") rpmdrake
listed this package last. Just look at the 'description' column to see
which one you have chosen, and there will be no problem.

Trying to upgrade Crossover Office rpms with names like zoom (no version number in the title) created problems before, but that seems to have
been overcome.

I use a custom script to do my upgrades. I donwnload the rpm. ask rpm to give the
full rpm name, rename it to the full name and date, then ask rpm to install
the full rpm name.
