[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1828234] Re: linux-tools: perf incorrectly linking libbfd -- again
eoan has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Eoan) Status: Fix Committed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828234 Title: linux-tools: perf incorrectly linking libbfd -- again Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Disco: Won't Fix Status in linux source package in Eoan: Won't Fix Bug description: = SRU Justification = Impact: Linking perf (part of the linux-tools package) against libbfd prevents users to have linux-tools of different kernel versions installed in parallel.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1828234] Re: linux-tools: perf incorrectly linking libbfd -- again
This has been applied to Disco (and I believe to Eoan, too) but the bug reference was pointing to a different bug (just libbfd and libbfp looking too similar to notice): bug #1826410. This will require some care to untangle without requiring to do the kernel again. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Disco) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Eoan) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828234 Title: linux-tools: perf incorrectly linking libbfd -- again Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Disco: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Eoan: Fix Committed Bug description: = SRU Justification = Impact: Linking perf (part of the linux-tools package) against libbfd prevents users to have linux-tools of different kernel versions installed in parallel.
