Hi Michael, thanks for the info. We are at the moment struggling to bring this package to some releasable state and having a bug that is not FTBFS, is actually a good thing! Can you confirm your bug with the version 21.3-1 that is now in unstable? If you want to compile hwinfo yourself, you should use the version from the git repo [1]. Moreover, compiling inside pbuilder or something equivalent is a better idea, because you don't clobber your everyday system and dependencies are resolved better. Please let me know if it helps Tomasz [1] http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/hwinfo.git -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
