yaird (kernel >=2.6.22): unrecognised line in /proc/bus/input/devices: U: Uniq= (fatal)

[Stefan Foerster]

Binary package hint: yaird

Installing kernels under kernel version 2.6.22 or greater using yaird fails with the following error message:

yaird error: unrecognised line in /proc/bus/input/devices: U: Uniq= (fatal)

When I install a kernel (even if its version is >=2.6.22) under kernel <2.6.22, yaird works as expected. It seems that from 2.6.22 on /proc/bus has changed and yaird hasn't been adapted yet.

I run the current Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (alpha 4), plain vanilla kernels, with yaird version 0.0.12-20, but I don't think that it depends on the distro or version. The same bug should affect other distros like Debian, too.

Here is the transcript I get:
