[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#642993: "Failed to read classid file: Object not found"

Package: iw
Version: 3.1-1
Severity: minor

It appears to *work*, but the message is annoying.
Here's an strace around the error message:

I have no idea where /etc/libnl is supposed to come from; no package I
have installed creates that directory.

And isn't it nornal to *not* do an open(2) if the preceding stat()
failed?
