Hello Shih-Yuan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted libsmbios into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsmbios/2.3.0-0ubuntu1.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

advance!

Title:
  libsmbios doesn't support SMBIOS version 3

Status in libsmbios package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in libsmbios source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in libsmbios source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Platforms that don't have SMBIOS 3.0 tables won't be affected
   * Platforms with SMBIOS 3.0 tables can use libsmbios tools for performing commands and manipulating BIOS objects.

  [Test Case]

   * On a platform with an SMBIOS 3 table, try to list all tokens using
  smbios-token-ctl:

  # smbios-token-ctl -d

  [Regression Potential]

  * Regression potential is low.  this change was made upstream already
  and is a very small change.
