Hi keylimepi,
The 'libcamera-*' apps were renamed some time ago to 'rpicam-*'.
To help with the transition symbolic links were added to point the 'libcamera-*' names to the 'rpicam-*' names:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... picam-apps
Release v1.8.0 appears to have removed adding the symbolic links during install:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpicam-a ... 0...v1.8.0
https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpicam-a ... 646e4681b3
You have a few options:
1) Check for an update to the Allsky software to use the new names
2) Downgrade the rpicam-apps package to v1.7.0
3) Manually add the symbolic links to temporarily work around the issue
Manually add the symbolic links:The best option is for the Allsky software to use the new executable names.
But the other options MAY get you working temporarily.
Good luck!

Manually add the symbolic links:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/rpicam-still /usr/bin/libcamera-stillsudo ln -s /usr/bin/rpicam-vid /usr/bin/libcamera-vidsudo ln -s /usr/bin/rpicam-hello /usr/bin/libcamera-hellosudo ln -s /usr/bin/rpicam-raw /usr/bin/libcamera-rawsudo ln -s /usr/bin/rpicam-jpeg /usr/bin/libcamera-jpegBut the other options MAY get you working temporarily.
Good luck!
