Hi,

  log msgs of this kind appear in dozens lately:

[...]
Aug 18 14:05:00 localhost pppd[11035]: Failed to open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such 
file or directory
[...]
Aug 18 14:05:00 localhost pppd[11035]: Failed to open /dev/ttyUSB1: No such 
file or directory
[...]

Trying usb-modeswitch              1.1.3-1



Obviously upstream is free to accept and integrate submitted __tested__ 
patches. Or not.
Upstream may very well reimplement a patch on his own. Releasing them as 
__untested__
is however not a kind gesture towards the user base and contributors, who're 
again obviously 
the main target.

The submitted and __tested__ patch earlier in the list has been floating around 
for months now,
without having been integrated and the users being without this required 
functionality. This 
is counterproductive and frustrating contributers. Integration would have been 
easy at that time,
as obviously the patch had been created against the then actual code base and 
been __tested__.

In the meantime users had to pin the related debian packages or to suffer from 
malfunction and
the above log messages.

It seems loudly that the main problem be a pebkac one.


  Cheers
