You are indeed right. Python libraries are not multilib, and should live in /usr/lib/python3/site-packages. Will fix, but the process starts at the Debian side. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

The core issue here is the dependency in vdr. There is a ticket [1] about this. Otherwise, the simple work-around is uninstall the lirc package. This is an old bug. I see no new reports or comments lately, which seems to indicate that it is fixed in current release. [1]

Sorry for late reply. The python module contains binary. architecture-dependent code and can for that reason not be installed in /usr/lib/python3/ due to overall multi-arch requirements. That said, the official Debian documents I find are not explicit on how to install these kind of modules.

lirc does not spam the log if correctly configured. The repeated messages is a actually a feature since it's an easy way to detect status when configuring and hot-plugging a device. The basic issue here is if lirc is pulled in as a dependency. It should not, it's designed to be used by users

[Bug 1788235] Re: lirc broken on 18.04

2018-11-09 Thread Alec Leamas
Now, considering these reports one cannot IMHO really say that lirc is 'broken'. What could be said is that the upgrade to the new version requires manual steps, none of which mentioned in this report. The manual steps are documented in the file /usr/share/doc/lirc/README.Debian.gz -- this is

Glad that it works for you. The question is just how... As noted in the README, from 0.9.4 all lircd.conf files needs names like mce.lircd.conf i. e., with a lircd.conf suffix. The default lircd.conf files only includes files with this suffix. That said, a custom lircd.conf could of course

The package contains a README.Debian.gz file which explains the changes done. A reference to this file was displayed when you upgraded lirc, but perhaps you missed it (such things happens, for sure). The update 0.9.0 -> 0.9.4 is a breaking update requiriung manual intervention as described in

At a closer look, the configuration seems messy. E. g., /etc/lirc/lirc.conf includes a file from /usr/share/lirc/configs, a directory not present in 0.9.4. Have you worked through the necessary manual upgrade steps as described in /usr/share/doc/lirc/README.Debian.gz? Note that the missing

Previous versions needed some configuration to basically make a conditional compilation. Possibly, submitter expects the configuration menu as of 0.9.0. However, there is no such menu in 0.9.4 - all configuration is done after installation using regular configuration files Given this, my

After a second thought I think this is wontfix. Setting up lirc is a complex task, and enabling a service in the standard session GUI tools is a small problem compared to other. Also, the 'parse .lircrc'approach just don't work since applications can store them anywhere. And does so. -- You

As for the lirc part, the last 0.9.4 release solves this since the lircd output socket is created at an very early point in the boot sequence. lircd is started using socket activation when irexec or some otther client connects to the socket. So, no race is possible. IMHO, mysql should do the
