Public bug reported:
Please backport libsmbios 2.4.0-1 (main) from bionic-proposed to trusty,
xenial.
Reason for the backport:
========================
Many platforms have adopted SMBIOS 3.0 tables and can't work properly with the
functionality
in current version of libsmbios.
libsmbios also has some memory leaks that are exercised in error
scenarios as a result.
Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the
checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
Test builds available at ppa:superm1/libsmbios
* trusty:
[ ] Package builds without modification
Package needs minor modification in packaging to use debhelper 9 instead of
10.
No other changes needed.

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of
libsmbios. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the
package still builds against the new libsmbios. For reverse-dependencies,
please test that the version of the package currently in the release still
works with the new libsmbios installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and
Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
