Package: usbutils Version: 1:010-3 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
I recently figured out that updating the usb.ids database does not have any effect on lsusb, and I realizied that the manpage does no longer refer to the usb.ids file. Unfortunately, I could not find any information how to update the database, other than the information that udev is now used. After some stracing and grepping I found /lib/udev/hwdb.d/20-usb-vendor- model.hwdb to be the file most likely used and upgraded udev with the version from backports. This solved the problem. It would have helped me a lot if there would have been a hint in the manpage or in the files in /usr/share/doc/usbutils to update udev to get a more actual hardware database.
