Bug#633501: libjinput-jni: contains undefined symbol EVIOCGUSAGE

[Lingzhu Xiang]

Package: libjinput-jni
Version: 20100502+dfsg-5
Severity: grave
Tags: wheezy sid
Justification: renders package unusable

jvm reports this error at runtime and quits:

java: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/jni/libjinput.so: undefined symbol: EVIOCGUSAGE

objdump shows this symbol in libjinput.so is indeed undefined.

$ objdump -T /usr/lib/jni/libjinput.so 

/usr/lib/jni/libjinput.so:     file format elf32-i386

There is also a compiler warning about this when building the deb package:

compileNativeJinputLib:
....
    [apply] /usr/local/src/jinput-20100502+dfsg/plugins/linux/src/native/net_java_games_input_LinuxEventDevice.c:122:2: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘EVIOCGUSAGE’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

A proposed fix for this is to completely comment out the code in
Java_net_java_games_input_LinuxEventDevice_nGetDeviceUsageBits() because the
macro EVIOCGUSAGE is never defined in any version of linux/input.h.
