Package: brltty
Version: 3.7.2-3debinst
Severity: minor upstream fixed-upstream
Hi,
When brltty is started early during debian installation (by udev, for
instance), /dev entries don't exist yet, and this produces a spurious
error (brltty is able to handle that). That's because errno gets
overwritten by LogPrint.
This is fixed in upstream's svn repository, here is the corresponding
patch.
