Title:
  dmidecode fails to read SMBIOS on Apple Mac hardware

Status in dmidecode package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Package Version:

  dmidecode/xenial-updates,now 3.0-2ubuntu0.1 amd64
  [installed,automatic]

  Ubuntu Version

  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
  Release:        16.04
  Codename:       xenial

  Xenial 16.04LTS

  Kernel Version:

  Linux family 4.4.0-96-generic #119-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 12 14:59:54 UTC
  2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Hardware:
  Vendor: Apple Inc.
          Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
          Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
          Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
          String 1: Apple ROM Version.  BIOS ID:      MM71.

  Problem:

  dmidecode consistently produces the following error at the end of
  every output:

  "Invalid entry length (0). DMI table is broken! Stop."

  Why is this a problem? It breaks systems management tools which use
  dmidecode to gather information about system status, rendering the
  tools ineffective (opennms and observium both affected).

  Suggested fix: reading on the internet suggests that such a bug has
  been observed on other platforms before and was resolved by using a
  version of dmidecode based upon 3.1 solves the problem. If willing
  backport dmidecode from artful?
