Package: input-utils Version: 0.0.20081014-1 Severity: normal Tags: experimental
The following transcript basically illustrates the whole problem. r...@saffroncity:~# lsinput /dev/input/event0 protocol version mismatch (expected 65536, got 65537) r...@saffroncity:~# uname -a Linux saffroncity 2.6.37-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 6 14:13:28 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux r...@saffroncity:~# Sometime between the kernel in sid (I assume) and the current kernel in experimental, the evdev protocol version changed. If a single input-utils binary can support multiple protocol versions, then can an updated input-utils be uploaded to unstable? If a single input-utils binary can't support multiple protocol versions, would it be possible to get an updated version in experiemental? It looks like [1] was the related Ubuntu bug, in case that helps. As far as I can tell, the problem was simply fixed by rebuilding the package against newer headers.
