Bug#569725: reportbug data collection failure due to include-usb
 

Source: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-8
Severity: minor

Coin,

When filing a BR on the kernel using reportbug, i was asked whether i
wanted to continue sending the report or not after the
'/usr/share/bug/linux-image-2.6.32-2-amd64/script' script failed with
error code 256.


After a few tests, i found the culprit is 'include-usb', because the
lsusb command does not always return 0, even when nothing goes wrong.
In fact, the reason is in the lsusb manpage:

RETURN VALUE
If the specified device is not found, a non-zero exit code is returned.
and there is no USB available on this host ('/dev/bus/usb' does not
even exist).


Regards.
