Hello, A non-blind Debian user got a brltty upgrade, and /var/log got filled up with errors. What probably happened is that the old 4.4 daemon was still running, but not finding any device. When the upgrade was done to 4.5, the daemon was not restarted (that is on purpose to avoid disrupting braille), but then the 4.4 daemon could not load its drivers any more. The failing loop then became way shorter:

Although the user just removed brltty from his system, it would probably be a good idea to make the failing loop longer, just like the the loop while no device is found?
