Crap. Okay, that gives me a better idea of what's gone wrong. I know
exactly what commit broke things, now I just have to un-break them...
Someone over on the lirc list just reported this exact same failure,
btw. Fortunately, I'm pretty sure this'll just be a userspace patch,
so a new lirc package should remedy things. Stay tuned...
