>Description:
flashrom will make use of dmidecode to gather DMI info if it is present.
However, it is not required in order to use flashrom, and flashrom will
continue if it can't find dmidecode on the system.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I've been using flashrom-0.9.3 without dmidecode on a test machine. I attached
a patch which adds an option (default yes) to install dmidecode as a dependency.
