That is, libsmbios 1.x can't be used with a newer kernel.

I have agreed with Loïc Minier to prepare a 2.0.3 for experimental,
potentially using the version in Ubuntu as a starting point.


Since we are going to ship with kernel 2.6.26 or newer, we will
certainly have to do something about this package.
Your call: we can either remove it or, better, update it.

I will start working on the new version immediately, just in case.


Thank you all for your work.
