[Bug 1826887] [NEW] Trousers cannot start when more than one file matches /dev/tpm*

[Daniel Llewellyn]

Public bug reported:

The init script in /etc/init.d/trousers includes the following test on
line 32:

if [ ! -e /dev/tpm* ]

This will fail whenever the wildcard expansion of /dev/tpm* returns more
than one result with a message similar to `/etc/init.d/trousers: 32: [:
/dev/tpm0: unexpected operator`.

On my Surface book I have two files which match /dev/tpm0 and
/dev/tpmrm0.
