Package: usbutils
Version: 0.87-5squeeze1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
A Texas Instruments Launcpad is connected as the sole
USB device, resulting in device /dev/ttyACM0 showing up.
No TI drivers were installed, or any specific usb-drivers.
A simple program in Forth does some direct read and write on ttyACM0,
while the device is responding. It functions properly, except for
situation where an output stream of the device is interrupted from the
terminal.
It is possible that the device and the program were writing simultaneously.

The program above was no longer able communicate.
