Package: udev
Version: 0.084-3
Severity: normal
Udevtest requires me to remove the first pathname component
from the actual (as mounted) pathname of a device.
For instance,
udevtest /class/...
works, but
udevtest /sys/class/...
fails.
This is not documented in the udevtest man page.
So, it is at least a documentation bug.
It would be confusing to users, even if documented,
so I'd interpret it as a software bug; the behaviour
of devtest ought to change.
Still, I know how little enthusiasm there normally is
for actually changing the way programs work, so I don't expect
more than a fix to the documentation. While you're at it,
though, the man page could use an example showing a possible
path (or pseudo path) and the results from udevtest.
