Hi!

This issue breaks keyboard and mouse input in display managers in Devuan
Ceres.

Just wanted to make you aware of it, in case you aren't already.

udev dependencies?

Hi!

I wonder how to deal with issues like

#1041703 Broken due to missed udev dependencies

https://bugs.debian.org/1041703

I accidentally raised the bug severity to grave, as I missed that it was
related to libeudev instead of libudev. I did not see that Klaus was
using libeudev initially.

I bet there is no willingness to communicate breaking changes like this
to eudev maintainers from the side the libgudev maintainers beforehand.

Just hope it does not happen too often?

Anyway, I think eudev needs fixing there. Otherwise no keyboard input in
sddm, lightdm and likely other display managers, likely also regular X11
session, probably Wayland, no working fwupdmgr, likely crashes in xdg-
desktop-portal when changing to mount point of external ssd/hdd and so
on… unless you stay on libgudev1.0-0 version 2.37-2.

Hope I do not get bashed too badly for my temporary raising of the bug
to severity grave.

Thanks,

Martin
