Well, the question is still the same: how did brltty end up getting
installed on your system?  I don't see what can lead to this situation.
It is expected that you have xbrlapi installed, it is not expected that
you have brltty-x11 or brltty installed.  Did some other packages got
removed when you requested the removal of brltty?

It is *expected* that having brltty installed grabs these kind of serial
ports, because some of our users need that support to be able to use
their computer _at all_.
