Title:
dmidecode should print diagnostic messages to stderr
Status in dmidecode package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Ubuntu version of dmidecode breaks several scripts because it prints
diagnostics messages to stdout instead of stderr.
E.g.: sudo /bin/ksh93
# /usr/sbin/dmidecode -s baseboard-manufacturer 2>/dev/null
Supermicro
Invalid entry length (16). Fixed up to 11.
The original version (https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/dmidecode.git)
however, works as expected:
# /tmp/dmidecode -s baseboard-manufacturer 2>/dev/null
Supermicro
$ /usr/bin/lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
