Title:
  16.04 regression bug lshw -C memory does not display module info

Status in lshw package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  
  Summary:
  There is yet another regression bug in 16.04. This time in the packaging of lshw. If you build lshw from source on 16.04LTS using apt-get source lshw the functionality is restored.

  Problem:

  In 14.04LTS sudo lshw -C memory shows the information necessary to
  view your memory modules without having to open the computer case.

  product: KHX2666C15D4/8G
            vendor: Undefined
            physical id: 0
            serial: XXXXXXX
            slot: DIMM_A1
            size: 8GiB
            width: 64 bits
            clock: 2666MHz (0.4ns)

  In 16.04LTS sudo lshw -C memory shows ano nothing more about the installed memory.
   *-memory
         description: System Memory
         physical id: 11
         slot: Systeem- of moederbord
