The current udev rules have some matches on ACTION=="add" for a few device naming instruction. This may break in some circumstances, if the kernel sends "change" events for the same device. These events get added to the kernel, to notify about a state change, which in some cases leads to different symlinks. USB was going to add "change" event when a device gets reconfigured, which would be reasonable and nice to have, but it breaks the current device node naming rule for /dev/bus/usb/. This "change" event can not go in immediately, but things like this are likely to happen more frequently in the near future. To prevent such possible breakage, please get rid of all ACTION=="add" matches which are not exactly meant as such, and remove them entirely, or change them to ACTION=="add|change". People who maintain distro packages, it would be nice, if you could update currently released, or just about to be released versions. You can check for broken rules with: udevadm info --export-db > add-event.out udevadm trigger --action=change udevadm info --export-db > change-event.out diff -u add-event.out change-event.out Any device incorrect device naming differences here should be fixed.
