Package: binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu
Version: 2.35.2-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-nm

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Originally, trying to figure out why these programs would not load. Ultimately,
discovering that nm (my normal go-to tool) and objdump could not handle these.
I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, but it appears to be the tools cannot
handle binaries that have less than two sections.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

After discovering that readelf could cope with the problem I was able to repair
the binary headers; however even so, objdump and nm cannot cope.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

A more sane error message than a section that doesn't exist has an offset 
outside
the file repeated twice.

Diagnostic output:

$ objdump --all ./mv
objdump: warning: ./mv has a corrupt section with a size (7ba002000) larger 
than the file size
objdump: warning: ./mv has a corrupt section with a size (7ba002000) larger 
than the file size
objdump: ./mv: file format not recognized
