Comment 2 Aristeu Rozanski 2015-09-18 13:53:57 UTC 
dmidecode is x86 only and used to try to "guess" the memory module labels. I'll
fix it so it won't error out on dmidecode not being found.
Comment 3 Aristeu Rozanski 2015-09-18 14:38:19 UTC 
Upstream's 7629ebb853687afe144987d301d77a4ff99c65b5 fixes the issue.
Changes ready, waiting for flags.
