Description:
openobex <= 1.7-5 includes the udev-rule "60-openobex.rules" in directory "/usr/lib/udev/rules.d", which relies on the group "plugdev". This group doesn't exist by default and is not referred in our wiki. The "plugdev" group seems to be a special group from Ubuntu and is not generally used on GNU/Linux.

The developers of systemd doesn't like this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815093

I want judge this. But we are relying on systemd. So it seems sane, to follow their policy.


Additional info:
* package version: openobex 1.7-5
* config: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-openobex.rules

journalctl --no-pager -b | grep -i plugdev

uaccess seems the solution. Note its caveat, it does not work over SSH.
