Comment 11 for bug 2004493

Hi Craig,

Thanks for testing and the details.

> The following command did not work : sudo apt install --allow-downgrades dmidecode/jammy-updates

Alternatively, you can download/install this deb package, to revert your instance back to the version in jammy-updates [1].

In this case, the support is missing in the latest dmidecode (comment #2),
so this isn't a bug, but a feature request.

I checked the git repo for changes more recent than dmidecode 3.4,
and there are none related to this area/request, afaict.

So you'd have to reach out to the dmidecode maintainers/community upstream,
and ask for this to be implemented, or write and propose the patches.

Sorry, but unfortunately this issue isn't specific to/owned by Ubuntu.

Hope this helps!
