Public bug reported: Binary package hint: usbutils
http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids returns usb.ids as a gzip file - which the update-usbids.sh cannot handle using grep. the following revised script will successfully download the usb.ids file: #!/bin/sh # see also update-pciids.sh (fancier) [ "$1" = "-q" ] && quiet="true" || quiet="false" set -e SRC="http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids"; DEST=/var/lib/misc/usb.ids # if usb.ids is read-only (because the filesystem is read-only), # then just skip this whole process. if ! touch ${DEST} >&2 >/dev/null ; then ${quiet} || echo "${DEST} is read-only, exiting." exit 0 fi if which wget >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then DL="wget -O $DEST.new.gz $SRC" ${quiet} && DL="$DL -q" elif which lynx >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then DL="eval lynx -source $SRC >$DEST.new.gz" else echo >&2 "update-usbids: cannot find wget nor lynx" exit 1 fi if ! $DL ; then echo >&2 "update-usbids: download failed" rm -f $DEST.new exit 1 fi gunzip $DEST.new.gz if ! grep >/dev/null "^C " $DEST.new ; then echo >&2 "update-usbids: missing class info, probably truncated file" exit 1 fi if [ -f $DEST ] ; then mv $DEST $DEST.old # --reference is supported only by chmod from GNU file, so let's ignore any errors chmod -f --reference=$DEST.old $DEST.new 2>/dev/null || true fi mv $DEST.new $DEST ${quiet} || echo "Done."
