Wrong Udev rules location for distros using eUdev. Results in : You don't have the required permission to change your wheel settings #155

udev admin rules are not being installed to proper directory for Debian based systems.
Results in the error: you don't have the required permission to change your wheel settings when running Oversteer.

I'm running Devuan ( and it appears to be true for other Debian-based installations).
When I run
udevadm test /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/0000:02:00.0/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/0003:046D:C29C.001F/input/input118
( where the path is found by looking at sudo dmesg )
I don't see it scanning /lib/local/udev/rules.d

man udev on my system mentions /lib/ and /usr/lib prefixes ( as well as /etc and /run ) but makes no mention of /usr/local/udev/rules.d although I see it mentioned in other udev man pages found online.

This StackExchange page investigates the question.
