The Ubuntu package has been updated to remove the C rewrite and use the 
upstream tcl version now which should fix the issue

We are not going to add tcl as a depends in a stable update though so
the C code bug is still going to need to be resolved in focal

Title:
  Device validation failing when connected to an usb hub

Status in usb-modeswitch package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Ubuntu focal fossa development branch the usb_modeswitch 
does not seem to work any more on a Toshiba laptop.
  Two modems I have D-Link DWM-156 and Huawei E3372 show up as drives and stay 
like that until I use "Eject" in Gnome or explicitly use usb_modeswitch from 
the terminal.
  I have a strong feeling that it may either be related to Gnome or hardware.
  On another Dell laptop with Kubuntu focal fossa development, both modems 
connect automatically.

  /var/log/usb_modeswitch.log ends with:
  Warning: SCSI attribute "ref" not readable.
  Check class of first interface ...
  Device is in istall mode.
  No access to interface 8. Exit

  Up until and including the "ref" not readable is exactly the same as on 
Kubuntu @ Dell.
  Yet on Kubuntu I get plenty of successful config logs after that and on 
Ubuntu @ Toshiba I don't.
