[Bug 1636355] Re: In lirc 0.9.4, lircd-uinput.service fails to start because the lircd-uinput executable is not installed

 

I have rebuilt the source package 0.9.4c-3 on an updated zesty host, and
it builds and installs /usr/sbin/lircd-uinput as expected.

This bug is possibly related to bug #1636353.

The cause can be found in the build log at
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/290954740/buildlog_ubuntu-zesty-
amd64.lirc_0.9.4c-3_BUILDING.txt.gz which contains "HAVE_UINPUT:no".
This eventually boils down to at least some of the ubuntu build hosts
doesn't have a /dev/uinput device which causes the build script to
configure lirc without uinput support (and thus without lircd-uinput).

Seems that the ubuntu kernels are heavily patched...

A patch will be in place for next update, coming Real Soon (tm). Thanks
for reporting!
