Package: hdparm The second line of the message should say:
Version: 9.43 Replace: 9.45 Severity: minor (This is no real bug report.) No, it's rather a plead to finally get rid of this ancient version which you still ship with current Debian. And not only that; (*)Ubuntu (all flavors) have been shipping the 9.43 version for 2 or even more years now. This has to come to an end now, let alone because of the following issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/hdparm/bugs/51/ --read-sector is byte-swapped in every version <= 9.43. Mark fixed this in 9.45+. unfortunately both you and the Ubuntu guys were asleep with both eyes open and still haven't considered a tool update for 2 + years :) I think it's high time that this be done ... finally. Thanks.
