RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

usb.ids is required by /usr/bin/lsusb.py command which is new in rebased usbutils package.

w/o this file, lsusb.py returns python errors like:

# lsusb.py 
 WARNING: Failure to read usb.ids
(<type 'exceptions.IOError'>, IOError(2, 'No such file or directory'), <traceback object at 0x7f0782d411b8>)

How reproducible:
always

It's not missing it's packaged separately in package hwdata, I just didn't noticed libusb.py, so I didn't patched it. (I would expect it to honour the path to usb.ids from makefile, but it doesn't)

*** Bug 729842 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Scratch build with fixed lsusb.py:

http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=3548218

Can you please try it and send me some feedback?

# lsusb.py 
usb1            1d6b:0002 09  2.00 480MBit/s   0mA 1IFs (ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7) hub

No more warning. Seems lsusb.py has found the right location of usb.ids now.
