[Slackbuilds-users] gxine/lirc breaks Slackware

[fsLeg]

Here's your problem: <https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc/git/ci/master/tree/contrib/60-lirc.rules>

The rule has been present in lirc sources for the past 10 years, according to the commit at blame date. I guess it says a lot about how many Slackware users use it, that's why it went unnoticed for so long.

Try contacting the script's maintainer so they could patch the rule in the SlackBuild. If they don't respond in a week or two you can submit the necessary change yourself after getting admins' approval here.
