Now, considering these reports one cannot IMHO really say that lirc is 'broken'. What could be said is that the upgrade to the new version requires manual steps, none of which mentioned in this report.
The manual steps are documented in the file /usr/share/doc/lirc/README.Debian.gz -- this is presented in the upgrade message for lirc. >From xekon's note it's clear that the new lirc installation is using the default setup. It just cannot work as expected. However, the documentation is pretty clear and there is even a migration script. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788235 Title: lirc broken on 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1788235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
