It looks like that once again udev has changed the permission on the USB
device nodes to something like 0660. This is plainly wrong. Note that
read permissions on the device does not allow any transfer, as ioctls
need write access.

I am therefore cloning this bug to udev.

ubutils is now using libusb. I will update the manpage in the next upload.

Unfortunately that is not possible has usbutils does not open the files
itself.
