Package: valgrind Version: 1:2.4.0-3 Severity: important hi
I was curious to understand why Valgrind 3.1 is ~ 26 Mb in size while version 3.0 was ~ 8Mb in size, and I found this # file /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/* /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/cachegrind: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/helgrind: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/lackey: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/libcoregrind.a: current ar archive /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/libvex.a: current ar archive /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/massif: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/memcheck: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/none: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/vgpreload_core.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/vgpreload_helgrind.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/vgpreload_massif.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/vgpreload_memcheck.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped I think that the above is in violation of the policy but I cannot find the appropriate reference, so I am tagging it as "important" a. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-k7 Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages valgrind depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an Versions of packages valgrind recommends: ii gdb 6.3-6 The GNU Debugger -- no debconf information -- Andrea Mennucc "E' un mondo difficile.
