Description of problem: Both packages hwdata and usbutils ship usb.ids files and both ship different versions of this file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hwdata 0.227 and usbutils 0.87 How reproducible: Install both packages and diff the files usb.ids from these packages $ diff /usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids /usr/share/misc/usb.ids Actual results: Files /usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids and /usr/share/misc/usb.ids differ. Expected results: These files should be identical or one package should use the file of the other package directly of via a soft link. Also the package shipping this file should be upgraded with the latest ids. Additional info: See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hwdata/+bug/726202 and report how this will be fixed also there.
Fedora doesn't have /usr/share/misc/usb.ids, hwdata is the only package that provides usb.ids. Our latest usbutils as of today has these files: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=2900329 Ubuntu needs to decide which usb.ids they want to keep and just drop the other one during packaging.
