Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: crash (Ubuntu Raring) Status: New => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to crash in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064475 Title: crash version is outdated. Needs to import Debian version of the package Status in “crash” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “crash” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “crash” source package in Quantal: Fix Committed Status in “crash” source package in Raring: Fix Committed Bug description: Sid's version of crash is at 6.0.6 and upstream is at 6.1.0. Ubuntu version should at least follow Sid's version SRU Justification (for Quantal and Precise): Impact: With the current crash utility in Quantal (and Precise) it is impossible to look at dumps from recent kernels (3.5+). So Quantal cannot be used to examine dumps created in Quantal and with the rolling backport kernels we will have the same problem in Precise (12.04.2). Beside that it should be possible to use the latest LTS to work on newer dumps (IMO). Another feature of this latest release is the ability to work on dumps of PV guests produced by Xen. Fix: Instead of trying to pick individual patches it is much simpler to push the the 6.1.0 release back into older releases. It was compiled and tested in Precise at least while working on bug reports that involved dumps and required a recent version of crash. Testcase: - Load and examine a dump produced from a 3.5+ kernel - Load and examine a dump of a PV Xen guest.
