Agent versions 2.3 and 2.4.
Hello,
on Debian systems, when I run the command "wat-get upgrade" I receive the following error message:
WARNING Error while running dmidecode, dmidecode needs root privileges.
However, forcing the installation or update of packages from the console works perfectly.
How can I resolve this local issue?
[SOLVED] dmidecode needs root privileges

Hello,
additional information for version 2.4.0.14143-9847ee8b.
Sorry for the delayed response.
On the Raspberry Pi, it appears to be present but doesn't respond correctly.
Here is the output of the command:
# dmidecode 3.3
# No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry.
This same command on a Debian 11 VM returns the correct information.
