I am trying to update the bios in this Dell that I have just been given.
The Dell page suggests using :-
sudo dellBiosUpdate -u -f ./bios.hdr
this runs but I get a crash on line 185:-
Performing BIOS update...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/dellBiosUpdate", line 185, in <module>

ver = "%d.%d.%d" % struct.unpack("BBB", self.hdr.biosVersion)
NameError: global name 'struct' is not defined
Anybody got any clues?
