Bug Description
When an irman serial device is used via a usb serial convertor the default select timeout is not long enough to reliably receive transmitted codes. This means that buttons on the remote often have to be pressed mulitple times to have the desired effect.
It is shown by lircd when built with '--enable-debug' as:
lircd: error reading code: "Connection timed out"
This has been fixed in upstream cvs: http://
Although this change was made upstream a while ago it does not appear to have made it into a new release.

I have applied this patch to libirman-dev and rebuilt the lirc package to relink with the static library and can confirm codes are now reliably received.
This bug was fixed in the package libirman - 0.5.2-0.2~build1
---------------
libirman (0.5.2-0.2~build1) zesty; urgency=medium
* Upload to zesty
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Fix FTBS due to required configuration of poll.h in lirc 0.9.4c
