Package: dmidecode
Version: 2.11-9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

dmidecode is not detecting correct version of SMBIOS:

$ dmidecode
# dmidecode 2.11
SMBIOS 2.34 present.
# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.7 are not
# fully supported by this version of dmidecode.
49 structures occupying 1868 bytes.
...

and the dmidecode utility adds warning in the form of comments to the output 
which are included in fields like serial number and bios version:
 
$ dmidecode -s system-manufacturer
# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.7 are not
# fully supported by this version of dmidecode.
IBM

the result should be only "IBM"

When I use ocsinventory-agent, the extra lines appear wherever the OCS agent 
pulls a string from dmidecode. For example, the "Manufracturer" or "Model" 
section include the extra two lines before the output:

# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.7 are not
 # fully supported by this version of dmidecode.

I've noticed that the serial number, manufacturer, model, BIOS manufacturer, 
BIOS version, BIOS data, ASSETTAG, and Uuid fields all include this extra noise.
