Support for /proc/bus/usb has been dropped because it is racey, and permissions are difficult to set -- compared with /dev/bus/usb which is maintained by udev and doesn't have these issues.
Ubuntu is not the only distribution to have dropped it. If your software is using /proc/bus/usb, it is broken -- you've had over a year to change it, and you've failed to do so. Please change your software to use /dev/bus/usb now. I've rejected your sysvinit bug; this is deliberate and is definitely not a bug. Also your assertion about using /sys is entirely bogus - no devices exist under /sys. ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Could not open /proc/bus/usb/devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
