Description Ludwig Nussel 2023-06-28 07:56:05 UTC

lockdev came from Debian but was dropped there so is dead:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734086

So let's get rid of it and the issues related to it's setgid helper and /var/lock. The suggested alternative is to just call flock(), like this:
https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/blob/bf5a97d7673033ef6228c63109f6baf2bdbe1a0c/src/libcec/platform/posix/serialport.cpp#L143

There's also a flock command line tool so shell scripts can also still install compatible locks if needed.

The affected packages in Factory are:

  ckermit
  libcec
  libgphoto2
  minicom
  rxtx-java
  uucp
