Title:
  libbfd changed name without transition

Status in binutils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Status in binutils source package in Xenial:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  the latest binutils update in xenial to 2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04 changed the 
name of the libbfd library from: libbfd-2.26-system.so to 
libbfd-2.26.1-system.so
  This apparently happened without transitioning all dependencies.
  For example it broke the perf tool from the linux-tools-common package as it 
is still linked against the old libbfd name.

  To reproduce run "perf" with linux >= 4.4.0-24.43 and binutils
  2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04 and you get an cannot open libbfd-2.26-system.so
  error.
