We believe this bug has been fixed by lirc updates since 0.6.0. In particular, the last release 0.9.4 does not rebuild lirc in any way and these kind of problems just cannot occur (not to say other probklems couldn't).
Please let us know if you are still interested in this. Otherwise, without further input, let's close this bug. ** Changed in: lirc (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lirc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614289 Title: LIRC MCE USB Config Crash Status in lirc package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: lirc Release: Ubuntu maverick (development branch) / 10.10 Pack Type / Version: LIRC 0.8.6-0ubuntu5 Expected To Happen - LIRC installed and configured a Windows Media Center Transceivers /Remotes all device Actual Results - When attempting to install LIRC either by apt-get in a terminal and by package manager it gets to the configuration option of the installationwhere you select the type of remote control you have and when you select the device as; "Windows Media Center Transceivers /Remotes all" the install of LIRC crashes and hangs on "Installing Modules". If you select different remotes in the configuration options of LIRC it will then get past "Installing Modules" and complete the install of LIRC but obviously the remote in question does not work as its the wrong remote type. This leads me to the conclusion that it is only the "Windows Media Center Transceivers /Remotes all" option that is causing LIRC to fail its final configuration.
