Public bug reported:
lsb_release:
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release: 14.04
# apt-cache policy lirc
lirc:
Installed: 0.9.0-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 0.9.0-0ubuntu5
Version table:

What happened:
After upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04.3, lirc 0.9.0-0ubuntu5 was
generating multiple non-unique key press events. "irw" showed that the
multiple key presses didn't have event numbers (second column of irw
output). No hardware changed. Only an upgrade to 14.04.3.
No combination of min_repeat or suppress_repeats in lirc.conf would
suppress the multiple events. No combination of repeat or delay
options in the .lircrc file worked either.
This same configuration was working fine under 0.9.0-0ubuntu1 on a 12.04
box.
Sample IRW output:
# Note the zero event number in the second column.
0000000000001781 00 1 Hauppauge_350
0000000000001781 00 1 Hauppauge_350

0000000000001783 00 3 Hauppauge_350
0000000000001783 00 3 Hauppauge_350
I reverted the package back to 0.9.0-0ubuntu1 and the problem did not
completely go away (there were occasional multiple events, but they were
unique with an event number in the second field). Adding
suppress_repeats to the lirc.conf fixed this issue easily.
One caveat is that I'm using an IguanaIR USB receiver wit the supplied
igdaemon and the lirc iguanaIR driver blacklisted so the igdaemon can
use libUSB to grab and talk to the receiver (iguana's recommended
solution).
Apparently there is some regression between 0.9.0-0ubuntu1 and
0.9.0-0ubuntu5 that's not identifying unique events correctly.
What I expected:
LIRC would work with the config files from the previous machine (no
other hardware changes other than an upgrade to 14.04.3).
