Package: solaar
Version: 1.0.4+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer,
after upgrading from buster to bullseye I have the following error message
in $HOME/.xsession-errors everytime when Solaar starts:
Solaar depends on a udev file that is not present
For more information see the Solaar installation directions
at https://pwr-solaar.github.io/Solaar/installation
Having a look at the code, it is quite obvious that Solaar requests a udev
rules file with the name "42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules", but for
some reason this file has been named "60-solaar.rules" in Debian. So there
are two possible solutions:
(a) Rename 60-solaar.rules to 42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules to be in
line with upstream.
(b) If it cannot be position 42 but has to stay at position 60 for some
reason whatsoever, then you need to adapt line 141 in
/usr/share/solaar/lib/solaar/gtk.py from
udev_file = '42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules'
to
udev_file = '60-solaar.rules'
Moreover, 60-solaar.rules is missing the following lines compared to
upstream's 42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules at least:

It really would be great if you could fix this for the version in bullseye
given that there are already several bug reports on Github and Launchpad
with respect to systems running Solaar on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and I would
expect that there will be new reports once bullseye is released.
Best regards,
Thomas Uhle
