bug#13001: Reporting potential bug | uname -p and uname -i return unknown on Debian

[Ashish, Agrawal]

Hello,

I use the output of 'uname -p' in my product. It seems to work fine on very 
other Linux distro that I have worked on (ex. RHEL, SUSE Linux Enterprise 
Server and even Ubuntu 12.04), except Debian where it returns 'unknown'. The 
following this the relevant information of my machine and setup.

address@hidden:~# cat /etc/debian_version
6.0.5
address@hidden:~# uname -a
Linux IWFVM00285 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:00:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 
GNU/Linux
address@hidden:~# uname -m
x86_64
address@hidden:~# uname -p
unknown
address@hidden:~# uname -i
unknown

I found relevant bugs raised earlier (for example, 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=193170) but it seems either it 
was fixed earlier and has resurfaced or it was marked as won't fix.

Please advise. If this issue is already noted, could you please let me know the 
current status?

Thank you.
