failed to execute '/lib/udev/usb-db'

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

systemd-udev reports failure to execute usb-db, indeed there is no /lib/udev/usb-db on my system, yet argyll and colord reference those in the udev rules.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

/lib/udev/usb-db is history. Rules that refer to these need to be updated to use IMPORT{builtin}="hwdb --subsystem=usb" (or better yet, not refer to these internals in the first place..)

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

Thanks, pitti. Will see if I can fix above rules as per your recommendation.
