Package: usbutils Version: 0.72-9 Severity: normal
lsusb does not report any devices when a non-root user run it. No errors are reported either. I ran lsusb with strace and it tries to open files under /dev/bus/usb/nnn/nnn which are not world readable. The lsusb man page says it has to open files under /proc/bus/usb/nnn/nnn which is world readable. I guess reading files under /dev/bus/usb is a new way to retreive USB information, but then the DIAGNSTICS section in the man page needs to be fixed so that lsusb must open files under /dev/bus/usb. It would also be nice for lsusb to report that it fails to open files.
