Bug#520081: discover does not detect drives

[Christoph Pleger <Christoph.Pleger@cs.tu-dortmund.de>]

Package: discover
Version: 2.1.2-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

on my IDE machine, discover does not detect any magnetic or optical disk drives.All of these three commands give no output:

discover --enable-bus all --type-summary fixeddisk
discover --enable-bus all --type-summary optical
discover --enable-bus all --type-summary removabledisk

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I think that this is a bug.

Regards
  Christoph
