Description Karel Zak 2005-02-23 13:02:29 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #126082 +++

Description of problem:
/usr/sbin/lockdev works only for 2-component pathnames
("/dev/something") and does not check for 3-component pathnames such
as /dev/input/ttyACM0.  minicom and other applications expect
"/usr/sbin/lockdev -l /dev/arbitrary/path/name" to work, but it
doesn't, and the error diagnosis is cryptic and/or misleading.  Either
lockdev should work with an arbitrary pathname below /dev, or lockdev
should be verbose and informative about the error, or all applications
that use lockdev should be fixed to detect 3 or more components in a
pathname (and then adapt appropriately.)
