Public bug reported: Binary package hint: manpages
Doc for /proc/pid/stat wchan refers to /etc/psdatabase, which seems to be obsolete. More modern information ( http://weichong78.blogspot.com/2006/10/wchan- waiting-channel.html ) says that the symbol name is readable from /proc/pid/wchan , which is indeed true (I checked it). So /etc/psdatabase does not exist on my Ubuntu system nor is it necessary. It looks like the information that used to be in /etc/psdatabase is now in /proc/kallsyms.
