Thierry, how is this a procps issue? Praveen reported that 'ltrace ls' also segfaults, and ls is not part of procps. This looks more like a duplicate of bug #1398143 (which has been stalled because there has been no new upstream release of ltrace, leaving it unclear that picking any particular upstream commit will give us something that will work on all architectures).
If there are issues with procps 3.3.10 that warrant an upgrade to 3.3.11, could you please describe what those are? ** Package changed: ubuntu => procps (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to procps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547152 Title: ltrace is throwing segfault while running any of the userspace command Status in procps package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: == Comment: #0 - Praveen K.
