Comment 4 for bug 540949

Hi Fabrice,

I will check back with the flashrom guys. However, I have been told so far that the package should have "dmidecode" in the Recommends section of the control file. The explanation is that flashrom runs absolutely fine without dmidecode, however it might not detect some of the mainboards. So installing dmidecode is not a requirement but it's highly recommended as it will increase the probability that a mainboard is detected properly. We haven't fully discussed this issue yet, but if you ask me I would put "dmidecode" into the Depends section.
