Description Scall 2018-08-26 18:18:18 UTC

The following line in "/lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules" is currently causing the skipping of all the rules for connected devices, at least when using recent kernels (e.g. 4.14 and 4.18):
ACTION!="add", GOTO="libmtp_rules_end"

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Install media-libs/libmtp.
2. Connect via USB any device with a rule in "/lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules".
3. Run "ls -l /dev/libmtp*" to notice that the symlink hasn't been created (the device rule hasn't been reached).
