Package: mcelog
Version: 147+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/andikleen/mcelog/issues/1
Dear Debian folks,
Currently, executing `sudo mcelog` an error is printed in the end.
```
mcelog: warning: 16 bytes ignored in each record
mcelog: consider an update
```
As described in the blog post *mcelog warning bytes ignored consider
update* [1], the reason is the mismatch of the structure `mce` in the
Linux kernel and the one defined in `mcelog`.
The Debian package probably needs to patch the header file, to contain
the definition of the currently shipped Linux kernel.
I have no idea, how this is supposed to work with different Linux kernel
versions.
Kind regards,
Paul
