UPDATE: Usbreset has been added to Fedora 42+ versions of usbutils. Now the waiting for F42 mid-april begins.
TL;DR: usbutils package in the fedora repository doesn’t include the usbreset utility. (GH issue)
Longer story: I was playing Rocket League and my controller disconnected briefly and when it reconnected it did so as a second player. Annoying issue, and I wanted to reset the usb connection because replugging the cable didn’t work. I found out about usbutils from other sites, and when I tried to install it on my machine I discovered I already had it installed. So I tried usbreset but nope not present. Then I tried compiling it myself and sure enough, there it was. But even there when doing a meson install it wouldn’t install. Found out from a ticket on github that it’s by design by the creator of the tool suite. But I looked around and found that other distro’s do package it with usbutils, even Debian.
So I’m left wondering, since I couldn’t find anyone else bringing up this albeit very small issue, if it’s worth putting on the bugtracker or not.
Either the package maintainer or someone else made a decision to leave it out or the more obvious reason as to why it’s not included is because it doesn’t get installed with meson install and is therefore overlooked.
But is it bugtracker worthy?
