Package: input-utils

The following transcript basically illustrates the whole problem.

root@saffroncity:~# lsinput
/dev/input/event0
protocol version mismatch (expected 65536, got 65537)
root@saffroncity:~# uname -a
Linux saffroncity 2.6.37-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 6 14:13:28 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@saffroncity:~# 

Sometime between the kernel in sid (I assume) and the current kernel in
experimental, the evdev protocol version changed. If a single
input-utils binary can support multiple protocol versions, then can an
updated input-utils be uploaded to unstable? If a single input-utils
binary can't support multiple protocol versions, would it be possible to
get an updated version in experiemental?

It looks like [1] was the related Ubuntu bug, in case that helps. As far
as I can tell, the problem was simply fixed by rebuilding the package
against newer headers.

The experimental tag is no longer justified, the bug shows up on sid
(and wheezy with 2.6.38) as well:

# cat /etc/debian_version 
wheezy/sid
# uname -a
Linux ideapad 2.6.39-1-686-pae #1 SMP Fri May 20 20:40:05 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
# lsinput 
/dev/input/event0
protocol version mismatch (expected 65536, got 65537)
# 

Raising severity would probably also make sense since the bug makes the
package unusable.


Thanks for your work & regards

This package is currently completely broken.

Note that a proper fix also requires a breaks for older
(especially squeeze) kernel packages.

A versioned build-dependency on linux-libc-dev and a breaks for older 
kernel images seems to be the minimal fix.

Depends on the relative importance of the packages.

This is wrong on so many levels.
1. There is no way to declare relations to 'all kernel packages'.
2. input-utils doesn't break them!  They don't depend on input-utils;
   they'll keep on running.
3. You know how people complain about udev and kernel upgrade ordering
   dependencies?  You're proposing to do the same thing.

I suspect that the correct way to deal with this may be to build
input-utils from the linux-2.6 source package and add some sort of
wrapper in linux-base to select the right version (like we do for
perf).

Or, you change the program to check which protocol version to use at
run-time.

Why not?

How could a package declare "I need at least kernel 2.6.39"?
(I know that self-compiled kernels are a different story, but for
 kernel packages that should be possible.)

udev is a special case, since it is very essential and udev and kernel 
upgrade ordering was a tricky problem.

input-utils is a peripheral package without much hassle.

After looking a bit into it, and especially at commit ab4e0192
(Input: define separate EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2) in
the kernel, the correct fix for input-utils is a different and
quite simple one:

The input kernel<->userspace API might be enhanced with additional 
functionality in the future, but it will never change in a way that 
breaks the ABI.

Therefore the old functionality input-utils is using will always
be available, and the bug was that EVIOCGVERSION shouldn't be used
to check with equality for EV_VERSION (version >= 0x010001 might
be a valid check for software using EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2).

A patch for input-utils to remove the wrong version check is below.

After that, a Breaks in all kernel images on the unfixed input-utils 
would be required.

See http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=linux-image-2.6.39-2 for
the kernel you'd have to depend on only to cover 2.6.39 and not all
future kernels with all then valid featuresets.
And note that a machine having installed 2.6.39 but runs 2.6.32
satisfies that Depends. So you need a runtime check.
($(uname -r) >= 2.6.39)

I think this is the way to go.

You can't, and shouldn't, do that (at least until after the wheezy
release).

1. There are many different binary packages for different hardware
configurations, and we add and remove them quite regularly.
2. Although the binary packages provide virtual packages, virtual
packages aren't versioned.

It can't.  The only kind of relation you can use to binary kernel
packages is an exact dependency from a binary module package.

Not going to happen.  You need to fix this through a stable update.

Please do package the new upstream version (although it is probably best
to use the latest git or at least cherry pick a few of the commits
there).

It fixes the version check issue, among other things.

A stable update (either a minimal backport, or, should the release
managers accept it, a full backport as we'd want to use EVIOCGKEYCODE2
when possible) is still needed to close this bug in stable, though.

There's nothing worth cherry-picking, since the commits that make a 
functional difference are patches I forwarded from the Debian package.
