The "modernizing" of /sys breaks some ancient utilities, e. g. gpe-conf.
I'll prepare a fix.

Most other utilities work well with the new sysfs structure (the old
deprecated one was abandoned by distros several years ago).

udev dependent patching would make these fixes more complicated.
What about making default the "new" /sys layout as and fixing utilities
needed by users of kernels 2.6.10 and so.


Here is a possible problem location script. Note that packages present
in other distros and having an update in last 2 years don't need check.

#!/bin/sh
cd tmp/work

grep -rl '/sys/\(class\|devices\)' */*/install 2>/dev/null |
sed 's:^[^/]*/::;s:/.*::' |
uniq >../../sys_accesses.lst

grep -rl '/sys/\(block\|bus\|class\|dev\|devices\|firmware\|fs\|kernel\|module\|power\)' */*/*/configure* 2>/dev/null |
sed 's:^[^/]*/::;s:/.*::' |
uniq >../../sys_host_checks.lst
