[Slackbuilds-users] gxine/lirc breaks Slackware

[David Chmelik]

Gxine's dependency, lirc, breaks Slackware.  Whenever I connect certain 
types of devices, I get an error like "udevd[n]: failed to execute 
'/usr/bin/sh' '/usr/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/setfacl -m g:lirc:rw 
/dev/bus/usb/001/004 2>/dev/null || :'': No such file or directory" and 
the devices don't work.  If I 'ln -s /bin/sh /usr/bin/sh' or remove 
lirc, the devices work.  I was told the commands are looking for a 
non-existent lirc group (lirc SlackBuild doesn't create nor even 
mentions nor is in slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt ).  None the devices I'm 
connecting would even be using lirc: it just breaks them.  Seems this 
software was created by someone using a 'usr-merge' system and the few 
necessary steps to get it proper for Slackware weren't taken.
