hardinfo crashes on 'Filesystems'

This has been fixed thanks to some help from Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre.

Sorry, I misread the bug report.

Can somebody confirm this on a Trusty install? If you can confirm it, we just need to backport Mathieu's fix to Trusty, I assume.

This isn't fixed yet, still in the yakkety queue.

Hello LAZA, or anyone else affected,

Accepted hardinfo into yakkety-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hardinfo/0.5.1-1.4ubuntu3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Confirming the fix works for me. Tested 0.5.1-1.4ubuntu3 from the yakkety-proposed repository. Tag updated.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug was fixed in the package hardinfo - 0.5.1-1.4ubuntu3

---------------
hardinfo (0.5.1-1.4ubuntu3) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/04-fix-ftbfs-shared-symbols.diff: also un-inline other
    functions called by the modules: remove_linefeeds, remove_quotes, and
    size_human_readable.
  * debian/patches/glibc-version.patch: fix checking for GLIBC version, use
    ldconfig -V instead of trying to call libc.so.6 directly, and update the
    string mangling in the process. (LP: #1473142)

The verification of the Stable Release Update for hardinfo has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

Doesn't appear to be a big deal other than Battery information doesn't appear but, this error still occurs in Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS when calling `hardinfo` from the command line:

$ hardinfo
