the latest binutils update in xenial to 2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04 changed the name of the libbfd library from: libbfd-2.26-system.so to libbfd-2.26.1-system.so
This apparently happened without transitioning all dependencies.
For example it broke the perf tool from the linux-tools-common package as it is still linked against the old libbfd name.

To reproduce run "perf" with linux >= 4.4.0-24.43 and binutils 2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04 and you get an cannot open libbfd-2.26-system.so error.
