Clarke <pac...@us.ibm.com> - 2017-08-31 12:16:56 == ---Problem Description--- "perf" package needs a fix to support "audit"-related functionality with python. See https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/tools/perf/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/lib/Perf/Trace/Util.py?id=6fae8663c9940bcaa9edd8e21a9ae0f562789a3d The support is there for all other arches except ppc64le. The patch is a one-line fix. Currently, Ubuntu doesn't python scripting in perf at all. That is being tracked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1707875. So, this bug should depend on that.
