irda-utils doesn't install 'findchip'

[Zeeshan Ali]

irda-utils doesn't install 'findchip' application as claimed in the package description:

"This package contains userspace utilities to manage and handle infrared devices. It includes irattach, findchip,"

[Loic Pefferkorn (loic)]

Using 0.9.16-11ubuntu1, I can find "findchip" in /usr/sbin/findchip

where do you get it from? i have 0.9.16-9ubuntu and `apt-get install irda-utils` says i already have the latest version installed. This is true for both my i386 laptop and the PPC i have. here is my /etc/apt/sources.list on the laptop:

Oops, sorry! 0.9.16-9ubuntu3 not 0.9.16-9ubuntu .

I'm running Dapper :)
So this problem is specific to Breezy's package

[Grzegorz "McCartney" Oledzki (grzegon)]

Dapper, AMD64, irda-utils 0.9.16-11ubuntu1 doesn't contain findchip.

[KarlGoetz (kgoetz)]

This is fixed in Edgy.
If you need this functionality in Dapper, request a backport of the package (through updates or backports).
thanks.
