Hi Luciano,
since this ticket was opened without specifying a certain Ubuntu release, it 
was assumed that it got opened for the Ubuntu release that is currently in 
development - which is in this case 20.10 / groovy.
And since groovy includes valgrind 3.16.1, that already incl. the fix mentioned 
above, this ticket was closed as Fix Released.

However, if this fix needs to land in 20.04 / focal's valgrind 3.15 too:
 valgrind | 1:3.15.0-1ubuntu9        | focal           | ppc64el
it can be done based on Ubuntu's stable release upgrade (SRU) process 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates).
This process applies to Ubuntu releases that have been completed and were 
already published, and is therefore quite strict to avoid regressions.
Therefore we cannot simply bump the valgrind version in focal to the latest, 
but we may cherry-pick one or more patches/commits to fix a certain problem/bug.

Means if the above fix (fb6f7abcbc92506d302fb18a2c5fc853d2929248) can be
cherry-picked to 3.15 and applies there cleanly, we may do that. If it
doesn't apply cleanly a proper backport to 3.15 would be needed.

So yes, we would like to ask you to open a new bug requesting this same fix in 
20.04 (since this ticket got already closed) - if you don't mind ...
(If this bug wouldn't have been reached the 'Fix Release' status yet, it could 
have simply marked as affecting groovy _and_ focal.)
