IMO this should be above "wishlist" importance, because the lcdproc project had to disable a lot of display drivers (such as hd44780-lcd2usb) still relying on libusb 0.1 API, while libusb- compat-0.1 probably would've solved their issues easily. An LCD that worked perfectly with Ubuntu 16.04 is now dead in 18.04.
I fail to see why Debian maintainers are so worried about introducing some corner case bugs while things are breaking completely without the compatibility wrapper. Apparently it's just a matter of packaging libusb-compat-0.1 and making it conflict with libusb-0.1 so that only either one can be used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991004 Title: Replace libusb-0.1 with libusb-compat-0.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libusb/+bug/991004/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
