[SRU][Jammy/Lunar/Mantic][PATCH 0/1] usbip: error: failed to open /usr/share/hwdata//usb.ids (LP: #2039439)

[Juerg Haefliger]

[Impact]

usbip from linux-tools tries to access /usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids which is provided by the hwdata package which is not installed by default.

$ usbip list -l
usbip: error: failed to open /usr/share/hwdata//usb.ids
 - busid 1-1.1.1 (0424:7800)
   unknown vendor : unknown product (0424:7800)

[Test Case]

$ apt install linux-tools-<flavor>
$ usbip list -l
 - busid 1-1.1.1 (0424:7800)
   Microchip Technology, Inc. (formerly SMSC) : unknown product (0424:7800)

[Fix]

Make hwdata a dependency of linux-tools-common.

[Regression Potential]

A trivial package (hwdata) is installed as a dependency. Can't think of any problems this could cause other than a theoretical package installation failure.
