[Bug 1685646] Re: 'dpkg-reconfigure lirc' doesn't work as expected.

 

Wait, what do you mean, configuration needed to be done manually using
configuration files? There is no notification that we will lose the
ability to automatically configure lirc. I'm at a loss, my eHome remote
no longer works as expected in Kodi, none of the buttons do what they're
supposed to do. There is indication that the remote is functioning to a
certain extent, it is detected in LSUSB, volume controls work, the arrow
keys work, etc. But the OK button does nothing. Instead I have to use
the little "Enter" key under the numeric pad to have it select. None of
the media center buttons (guide, Music, Movies, Videos, TV) does what
it's supposed to do.
