I said the same in my last email

I have some issues about the package:

kbd.c: In function 'add_serial_console':

billy@skynet:~/dev/hwinfo/hwinfo-18.5$

Then I looking for x86emu.h:

billy@skynet:~/dev/hwinfo/hwinfo-18.5$ locate x86emu.h
/home/billy/dev/hwinfo/hwinfo-16.0/src/x86emu/include/x86emu.h
billy@skynet:~/dev/hwinfo/hwinfo-18.5$

Is only in the old version (16.0), if I see the RPM depends:

billy@skynet:~$ rpm -qpR hwinfo-18.5-2.2.src.rpm
warning: hwinfo-18.5-2.2.src.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key
ID 3dbdc284: NOKEY
doxygen
flex
perl-XML-Parser
udev
perl-XML-Writer
libx86emu-devel
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
billy@skynet:~$

It show a libx86emu-devel as depend obviously, and at the new project's URL:

http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/src-oss/suse/src/

We can found at libx86emu-1.1-12.1.src.rpm, as I see x86emu.h is
packaged as different software and is no longer included in the
sources of hwinfo.

I tried to find a package to provide x86emu.h unsuccessfully:

billy@skynet:~$ apt-cache search x86emu
billy@skynet:~$ dpkg -S x86emu
dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern *x86emu*.
billy@skynet:~$

I need make a package for x86emu.h or I can make some patch for this?

I would appreciate your comments and advices.
