anyone have an idea where I could that cli.py from? I tried with other packages cli.py - but it didn't seem to help - just led to odd errors :(

dellBiosUpdate program fails with the exact same error :(

and I really needed to update my bios (it's A01) - so I can use all my 5GB of memory - instead of just 3GB :(

I found the cause:
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/libs/libsmbios/libsmbios_2.2.28-1~exp1/changelog

  * Move cli.py from smbios-utils to python-smbios/examples

To fix:
zcat /usr/share/doc/python-libsmbios/examples/cli.py.gz >/tmp/cli.py; sudo mv /tmp/cli.py /usr/lib/python2.7/

(it's probably suppose to be somewhere else- but the above works :)

This bug was fixed in the package libsmbios - 2.2.28-2

---------------
libsmbios (2.2.28-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * cli.py should in fact be part of python-smbios
    (Closes: LP: #1185871)
  * Fix FTBFS problems on sid:
    - Add patch to disable dist-lzma for automake.
    - Add --install argument to autoreconf during build.
    - Add autopoint to build-depends.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4.
  * Remove extraneous LICENSE file from libsmbios-doc.
