Typing perf into a bash shell when it is not installed returns:

chris@chris-ultralap:~$ perf
The program 'perf' can be found in the following packages:
 * linux-tools-common
 * linux-base
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

However, I have already installed linux-base at it's suggestion, and perf is not present:

chris@chris-ultralap:~$ perf
The program 'perf' can be found in the following packages:
 * linux-tools-common
 * linux-base
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

chris@chris-ultralap:~$ apt-cache policy linux-base

No perf, it's in linux-tools-common (which will then tell you to install the kernel specific package).

Yeh, how odd - confirmed here as well on up to date 12.10
