Package: lirc Version: 0.8.3-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
# dpkg-reconfigure lirc Stopping lirc daemon: irexec lircmd lircd. .udevdb or .udev presence implies active udev. Aborting MAKEDEV invocation. ################################################## ## LIRC IS NOT CONFIGURED ## ## ## ## read /usr/share/doc/lirc/html/configure.html ## ################################################## Additional hint: Either /etc/lirc/lircd.conf or /etc/lirc/hardware.conf doesn't exist or either of the two has the string UNCONFIGURED in it at some important place. Try: 'dpkg-reconfigure lirc' Starting lirc daemon:. But lircd is never started. Trying the same command again results in the same messages and lirc is still not configured. In fact, /etc/lirc/lircd.conf begins with #UNCONFIGURED (both files referenced in the error message above exist). It seems counter-intuitive that configuring the package doesn't actually do it. Shouldn't the dpkg-reconfigure scripts do what lirc needs to work properly, and mark it as configured (ie: removing the #UNCONFIGURED line)? This is on a new Lenny installation on a blank disk, so there are no leftovers from previous versions. I'll do whatever testing is required if the problem can't be isolated.
