Package: lshw
Version: 02.18.85-0.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Running lshw with the -version parameter should display the version of
lshw, instead it displays a blank line. For example:
puck@flick:~$ lshw -version
puck@flick:~$
Testing this on Stretch with lshw v 02.18-0.1, it works.
This also affects Ubuntu Focal (02.18.85-0.3ubuntu2), it works okay on
Bionic (02.18-0.1ubuntu6.18.04.1), I haven't checked any non-LTS Ubuntu
releases.
Cheers,
Andrew
