Not affected by this bug 
Update to testing package without issues

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA9-64-OK

No installation issues.

It appears that this bug may only show with 1st generation Core i(3,5,7) cpus. 

I first tried it on a 2nd generation i5, and before the update btop correctly identified the processor as "i5-2500." Another machine with a Core2Quad Q6600 correctly identified it as "Q6600."

But, when I tried it on my Probook 6550b, with the 1st generation i3, btop identified it simply as "M" before the update, and as "i3 M 350" after.

So, I have confirmed the fault, and the fix, and the OK. Validating.

Marja, I'm wondering if we ought to change the advisory to say "... may show an incomplete name..." (add the word "may") because only some "older" cpus seem to be affected. What do you think?

or change "on older" to "on some older"

I changed it into:

  On some older CPUs, btop showed an incomplete name of the CPU. An
  upstream patch fixes this.

An update for this issue has been pushed to the Mageia Updates repository.
