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.
