Bug Description

Binary package hint: binutils

Package: binutils
Version: 2.20.51.20100813-1ubuntu3

If you type "objdump -i" the output includes an assertion failure:
cam-vm-266:maverick:qemu-0928$ objdump -i
BFD header file version (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.20.51-system.20100813
elf32-i386
 (header little endian, data little endian)
  i386
[...]
plugin
 (header little endian, data little endian)
BFD: BFD (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.20.51-system.20100813 assertion fail ../../bfd/plugin.c:441
objdump: plugin: Bad value
srec
 (header endianness unknown, data endianness unknown)
  i386
  l1om
  plugin
[...]

This also happens on karmic (binutils 2.20-0ubuntu2) so it's obviously been around a while.

It doesn't seem to cause any obvious problems, it just looks a bit unsightly :-)

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue.

I get an assertion fail with similar output in the same place when I run objdump -i on Natty. (binutils 2.21-4ubuntu1) I'll attach a log of the complete output.
