[Bug 1657544] Re: Ubuntu 16.10: hwinfo --save-config option fails to save the configuration.

[Steve Langasek]

artful has 21.46, so this is fixed for 17.10.

As stated, 16.10 is EOL.

Since this is filed as "medium", it doesn't look like this needs to be
an SRU.  If I'm mistaken and IBM does feel this needs to be fixed in
stable releases, please reopen this bug.

** Changed in: hwinfo (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Ubuntu 16.10: hwinfo --save-config option fails to save the
  configuration.

Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  Incomplete
Status in hwinfo package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  == Comment: #8 - Chandni Verma - 2017-01-18 00:34:19 ==
  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.
