Package: linux-image-2.6.18-6-sparc64-smp
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-23etch1
Severity: important
In order to use the apcupsd package with a USB connected UPS, HIDDEV
must be included in the kernel, either built-in, or as a module. But
it is not in the default sparc kernel build at all.
Why was it removed from the kernel image?
I request that HIDDEV be reinserted as a module in the default sparc
kernel (both single-processor and smp builds), as these systems can
support usb (sometimes with an add-on PCI controller, as in my case),
unless there is a compelling reason to leave it out.
Thank you
John

Sorry about the lack of response. This was fixed in Debian 6.0
'squeeze', specifically in the above package version.

It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
