Bug Description
Ubuntu 6.06.1, i386
usb.ids file is instaled in several DIFFERENT copies to the system. In means, different tools can report different results. I think to fix this, several packages should be modified. Why not to have just one usb.ids copy and crate symblolic links to it when needed. Maybe when can have only one usb.ids copy and no symbolic links are needed.
sudo find /usr /var /etc /lib -name usb.ids | xargs ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 152844 2006-01-27 18:03 /usr/share/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 149025 2005-12-29 16:51 /usr/share/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2006-12-27 12:23 /usr/share/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 152895 2006-01-30 11:10 /var/lib/

On my system, it only gives :
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2007-05-23 19:06 /usr/share/ misc/usb. ids -> /var/lib/ misc/usb. ids misc/usb. ids
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64089 2007-09-23 12:50 /var/lib/
Could you do that please :
sudo find /usr /var /etc /lib -name usb.ids | xargs dpkg -S
So we could know which packages are the culprits
