Bug Description

Binary package hint: fwts

fwts 0.22.00 contains few minor bugs:

* BIOS MTRR test:
    VGA MTRR check is not particularly helpful and always produces false positive results.
* BIOS MTRR test:
    valgrind complains about the struct being passed in to the MTRRIOC_GET_ENTRY ioctl().
* man page:
    -s option appears several times, needs only to apply to the --show-tests option.
* s3 test:
    typo: "Maximum time between S3 iterationsm, e.g. --s3-max-delay=20"
* acpi method test:
    missing out a lot of methods/objects that are used in the kernel ACPI driver.
* test framework:
    reduce leak propagation by using list heads on the stack or data segment rather than on the heap
* test summary:
    reduced summary table to < 80 chars to fit onto most ttys - wrap around was messy.

I don't believe these to be regressions, but it would be nice to address these lintian errors in future uploads.

I just found one error where pciutils was listed twice in the fwts Depends, so I fixed that and am uploading. Thank you for your contribution to Ubuntu.

@Micah, by the way, what lintian magic did you use to find those lintian errors/warnings?
