I have upgraded to Kubuntu 14.04 from 13.10 today. I found that my third party webcam packages were deleted during upgrade. I was using linuxtv drivers, so I followed the instructions given on this page.

I executed following commands in terminal

git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git 
cd media_build
./build

The following is the output of executing ./build:

Not aborted. It means that the licence was agreed. Proceeding...

I don't really know how to proceed from this point. If someone have solution to this problem kindly let me know.

I managed to convince the build to go forward. It seems to compile fine so far... fingers crossed...

Here's what I did: I opened backports/pr_fmt.patch, remove everything following diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/gspca/dtcs033.c, then ran build again.

patch -p1 <<EOF
