Package: hwinfo
Version: 21.12-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
hwinfo needs sudo/superuser/root privileges.
$ sudo which hwinfo
[sudo] password for shirish:
/usr/sbin/hwinfo
Why does it need sudo or superuser/root privileges. AFAI understand
the tool/package does similar work/utility as lspci or any other tool
which shows what parts of a system are there to the user.
The ideal part would be it would be able to probe all the hardware,
generate a report and write it in the user's home directory.
Looking forward to know.
