Package: usbutils
Version: 0.72-9
Severity: normal
lsusb does not report any devices when a non-root user run it. No errors
are reported either. I ran lsusb with strace and it tries to open files
under /dev/bus/usb/nnn/nnn which are not world readable. The lsusb man
page says it has to open files under /proc/bus/usb/nnn/nnn which is world
readable. I guess reading files under /dev/bus/usb is a new way to
retreive USB information, but then the DIAGNSTICS section in the man page
needs to be fixed so that lsusb must open files under /dev/bus/usb.
It would also be nice for lsusb to report that it fails to open files.

It looks like the user is using a too much recent kernel compiled
without backward compatibility sysfs elements and a not recent enough
version of udev.
