Bug#946437: systemd-udevd: event4: Failed to call EVIOCSKEYCODE with scan code 0x70068, and key code 110: Invalid argument

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: udev
Version: 244-3
Severity: minor

I've noticed the following error (in red) in the journalctl output:

Dec 09 00:10:18 zira systemd-udevd[506]: event4: Failed to call EVIOCSKEYCODE with scan code 0x70068, and key code 110: Invalid argument

This is not new.

I have a file /etc/udev/hwdb.d/98-apple-keyboard.hwdb with:

evdev:input:b0003v05ACp0221*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70068=insert      # F13: Insert

and this corresponds to

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 05ac:0221 Apple, Inc. Aluminum Keyboard (ISO)

I use the F13 key for Insert, as there is no Insert key on this
keyboard (this is a Fn key at the usual place of the Insert key
and the driver honors this specificity).

I have not seen any side effect of this error, though.
