Comment 7 for bug 1434991

I have released a new version of check_esxi_hardware which adds compatibility between the old/unpatched pywbem 0.7.0 and patched pywbem 0.7.0. Other distros (e.g. openSUSE) was also affected by it.
Please check it out on http://www.claudiokuenzler.com/nagios-plugins/check_esxi_hardware.php

However the whole pywbem upstream and Linux distro patching must be looked at separately and improved. For years now the same version (0.7.0) was used. Upstream seemed dead, came back in September 2014 and seems dead again. Distros started applying own patches without having an official upstream release etc. That's sad :-(
