The current status of pull request for the patch on this bug is: https://github.com/openSUSE/hwinfo/pull/37

As we can see, Steffen Winterfeldt, the maintainer is a bit reluctant to
make the code take the responsibility of creating absent directories.

So, I would like to request the Ubuntu package maintainer to create the
following directories if not present on the system upon installation of
hwinfo:

DIR                                                       PERMISSION
/var/lib/hardware                                       0755
/var/lib/hardware/udi                                0755


Thanks and Regards.
