Dear Maintainer,

System is an EEEPC 1005HAG, debian/testing, i386

Sadly I have to tell, the latest version of lirc is spamming syslog with mwessages. To make sure, it is not a problem of an earlier configuration, I deinstalled it completely and reinstalled it new.

The message, which is spamming is the following:

Apr 11 20:28:22 localhost lircd-0.9.4c[8159]: Error: Cannot glob /sys/class/
rc/rc0/input[0-9]*/event[0-9]*
Apr 11 20:28:23 localhost lircd[8159]: lircd-0.9.4c[8159]: Error: Cannot glob 
/sys/class/rc/rc0/input[0-9]*/event[0-9]*
Apr 11 20:28:23 localhost lircd-0.9.4c[8159]: Error: Cannot glob /sys/class/
rc/rc0/input[0-9]*/event[0-9]*
Apr 11 20:28:24 localhost lircd[8159]: lircd-0.9.4c[8159]: Error: Cannot glob 
/sys/class/rc/rc0/input[0-9]*/event[0-9]*

and so on.

Note: Although I have no infrared hardware installed, this issue did not happen with earlier versions.
As a workaround, I had to deinstall the package for now.

It would be nice, if you could take an eye on it.

Thank you very much!

Best

Hans
