This change happened because of a previously-unrealized reliance in libsysfs on the presence of a useless sysfs file that has recently been removed. Hopefully the libsysfs people will be releasing a new version shortly with this change in it for those packages who rely on it." Just a reminder because I bet many people will get caught out by this!
