perf trace not compiled in

[Jean Raby]

Running 'perf trace' with perf from linux-lts-trusty-tools-3.13.0-35 returns the following error:

    perf: 'trace' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'.

This is probably due to the fact that libaudit-dev was not available at compile time.
Is it an oversight or was it left out intentionally ?

Adding 'libaudit-dev' to Build-Depends, installing it and rebuilding the package makes the 'perf trace' command work.

This is on 12.04.

What logs do you need?

libaudit-dev is a universe package in Precise (12.04). The kernel (being in main) cannot be dependent on a universe package for security policy reasons. libaudit-dev was not promoted to main until Trusty (14.04)
