Description Jason Buberel 2003-05-29 01:17:24 UTC

By default, the usb-hotplug functionality will look for device removal scripts 
(identified by the $REMOVER environment variable) in /var/run/usb. If this does not 
exist, it makes it more difficult for script writers to do something like: 
 
#!/bin/sh 
copy /usr/local/bin/digital-camera-remover-script $REMOVER 
 
But if the /var/run/usb directory already existed, this would work just fine. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Fixed in 20030501-r2, now unmasked for x86 in the Portage tree. Thank you for this bug report.
