lshw not showing individual memory bank info

Question

This is all I get:

sudo lshw -C memory
  *-memory                
       description: System memory
       physical id: 0
       size: 7981MiB

sudo lshw doesn't give any more info. lshw used to show individual memory banks.

What am I doing wrong?

use :

 lshw -class memory

try it without sudo .

or use sudo dmidecode --type 17

This is yet another regression bug of 16.04.

As you can see in the link if you build lshw from source it works properly.

sudo apt-get source lshw
sudo checkinstall

Indeed this seems to be a bug with the lshw shipped with Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04.

Similar to Kat Amsteram's answer, I fixed the issue by running:

sudo apt-get source lshw
sudo make
sudo make install
