Was this bug really fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dmidecode in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688162 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.
