I don't; that's what this bug is about, upgrading laptop-detect should pull in the correct version of dmidecode.
But if you're asking why I would issue a command like 'apt-get install laptop-detect', there are a couple of possible reasons: 1) In this particular case, IIRC, I wanted to keep the mythtv version of dapper (performance issues on that hardware with the latest version of mythtv), but upgrade the rest of my system. So I did a piece-wise upgrade (and laptop-detect was among a bunch of packages after 'apt-get install'). 2) Free disk space constraints. Sometimes you do not have enough disk space to do an apt-get (dist-)upgrade, and have to do it in pieces (running apt-get clean in between). -- Dependency on dmidecode needs to be tightened https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91447 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
