Martin Pitt: can you look at this bug? It is really annoying when such
utility like lsusb does not working on system...

[Pali (pali)]

Patch which fixing this bug is linked in description and is already part
in upstream lsusb version. So there is no potential regression or impact.
Can you include this patch into 12.04 LTS release?

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
