Hi Sebastien, thanks for having a look at hwinfo. I was just pointed at this bug by MIA after querying them and offering to help maintain it (I don't really want to, but I still need it). Your package is a lot more progressed though, so I'm happy you are doing this.
Regarding libx86emu, I came across the same problem during fixing up the package. I took the easy route by just disabling it on all platforms (patch attached), and I cannot make out any missing information in hwinfo-20.2 . This might be, at least for now, the easier way around libx86emu. In addition, I was using the old get-orig-source way of getting a tarball from the OpenSuSE src.rpm. I don't like it very much, but the "tarball" already contains the generated changelog and VERSION file, so you don't have to fix that up manually. Best Regards, Bernhard
