[Bug 1916278] Re: Arduino fails to start: undefined symbol: sp_get_port_usb_vid_pid

[Tobias Heider]

My fix made it into the newest debian version: https://tracker.debian.org/news/1358628/accepted-listserialportsc-140repack-1-source-into-unstable/
I will prepare new diffs for kinetic and jammy with the debian fix applied.
