Description:
libsigrok <= 0.5.0-2 includes the udev-rule "z60_libsigrok.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:

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


Additional info:
* package version: openobex 0.5.0-2
* config: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/z60_libsigrok.rules

Based on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35602.
