Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 6.06.1, i386
usb.ids file is instaled in several DIFFERENT copies to the system. In
means, different tools can report different results. I think to fix
this, several packages should be modified. Why not to have just one
usb.ids copy and crate symblolic links to it when needed. Maybe when can
have only one usb.ids copy and no symbolic links are needed.
sudo find /usr /var /etc /lib -name usb.ids | xargs ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 152844 2006-01-27 18:03 /usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids
