[BRLTTY] Britty bug?

[Life in Six Dots]

Just to chime in. From my own experience only Ubuntu 22.10 is running BRLTTY
6.5. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is currently running BRLTTY 6.4.

Yes, this is a known issue. It's been dealt with, as well as can be done, in
6.5 so maybe you're using an older version of brltty. The solution was to
put the udev rules for braille devices which use uncustomized, generic, USB
to serial adapters into a separate, optional package. The solution,
therefore, would simply be to not install (or to remove) that optional
package.
