[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#723002: kaffeine: Does not find TV tuner card

[Hartmut Buhrmester]

There are similar bug reports both in the Debian bug tracker (and 
others) and "upstream" at KDE. It seems, that Kaffeine often doesn't 
find the path to the /dev/dvb directory. This may be caused by 
incompatible versions of "udev".

Try to add a symbolic link dvb -> /dev/dvb to your home directory:

hb at debian:~$ ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hb hb    8 Aug  6 00:09 dvb -> /dev/dvb

I used to need this on Debian 7 Wheezy. Note, that Kaffeine only 
supports digital TV, not analog TV. So the TV tuner card must be a dvb 
device.
