Comment 5 for bug 697999

This bug was fixed in the package lirc - 0.9.0-0ubuntu5

---------------
lirc (0.9.0-0ubuntu5) trusty; urgency=medium

  * debian/lirc.postinst, debian/lirc.templates, debian/po: drop a number of
    debconf templates that are no longer being prompted for at all due to
    the dropping of the lirc-modules-source package and the lirc.config some
    time ago.
  * debian/lirc.postinst: clean up the remaining debconf handling to not
    override settings in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf.
  * debian/lirc.postinst: drop code for removing /var/log/lircd, which has
    been gone for more than a decade.
  * fix blacklist handling, which creates files not used by modprobe, and
    doesn't put all the contents in a single file.
  * drop obsolete Ubuntu migration code that dates from jaunty and lucid.
  * fix a bug that causes transmitter device/driver settings to always be
    cleared on config change.
  * Adjust lircd handling for multiple devices so that events for all of
    them will appear on /dev/lircd as intended. Thanks to Joel Ebel for
    the patch. LP: #697999.
  * Use /run/lirc, the canonical name for /var/run/lirc. LP: #474701.
  * Fix the init script to not report failures when stopping an
    already-stopped daemon.
