valgrind packages ouf of sync with current glibc version (2.21)

[Alexandros Frantzis]

The current version of valgrind (1:3.10.1-1ubuntu1) was built against version 2.19 of glibc, so its default suppression files target glibc libraries of that version.

Valgrind needs to be updated and rebuilt to support the new version of glibc (2.21) in vivid.

Also see bug #1284653, which describes the same problem for the transition from glibc 2.18 to 2.19.

valgrind (1:3.10.1-1ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - Remove valgrind-mpi package from Ubuntu and any references to it, as
      mpi-default-dev is in universe for the time being.
    - Lower over-inflated valgrind-dbg Recommends to Suggests instead.
    - Don't strip vgpreload* on ARM; this results in unusable stack traces
      without valgrind-dbg.
    - Configure with --enable-only64bit on AArch64.
