Hi,

Thanks for testing, but the new upload wasn't intended to fix this
issue as far as I know. It is possible that some change affected
this issue, but the underlying bug with lshw is still present.

As I understand it Brian's fix has been approved for an upload in
to hardy-proposed, which after sufficient testing will make it in
to hardy-updates, and then be included in the 8.04.1 release.

Could those who are still affected by this bug please be patient,
it is being worked on, and we hope to have the fix available to you
soon after the release.

Thanks,

James
