Package: gpsbabel
Version: 1.3.5-1.1
Severity: normal
When trying to run gpsbabel as non-root, an udev rule has to be created
as documented in /usr/share/doc/gpsbabel/README.Debian
That file says to add the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules
with the content
SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="666"
This is the same as written at the gpsbabel homepage at
http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html
However, this rule seems to be somehow overwritten by an additional rule
coming later (I haven't figured out which rule exactly). So if I use the
filename /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules I cannot use the Garmin
device as root but if I use /etc/udev/rules.d/zz_garmin.rules it works.
The renaming of that file also solved this issue a friend of mine had
with his Debian Testing system.
I originally wantet to report this to the author of gpsbabel so that he
can update the homepage but I couldn't find an email address.
A second point that might be important in the future: SYSFS is
deprecated, therefore it should be replaced by ATTR or ATTRS (I'm not
sure which one to take ;-) )
Best regards,
Philipp
