2011-08-02 09:12:08 Stefan Bader description Trying to install linux-tools-2.6.35-28 from maverick on a natty system fails with: Unpacking replacement linux-tools-2.6.35-28 ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-tools-2.6.35-28: linux-tools-2.6.35-28 depends on binutils (<< 2.20.51.20100909); however: Version of binutils on system is 2.21.0.20110327-2ubuntu2. dpkg: error processing linux-tools-2.6.35-28 (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: linux-tools-2.6.35-28 This is because perf is dynamically linked to libbfd, and only one version of libbfd (in the binutils package) can be installed at a time. This makes it impossible to install linux-tools for more than one Ubuntu release onto the system at the same time, which is a hindrance to debugging for obvious reasons. Please link perf statically against libbfd.

Also, Debian policy actually forbids depending on a certain version of the library). Fix: Change the makefile to statically link libbfd. This is a Ubuntu specific change, though. Which unlikely will make it upstream. Testcase: Check the perf version provided though the builders (it seems that building in chroots can cause builds not linking against libbfd at all as HAVE_CPLUS_DEMANGLE gets set). The ouput of ldd should not show libbfd. --- Trying to install linux-tools-2.6.35-28 from maverick on a natty system fails with: Unpacking replacement linux-tools-2.6.35-28 ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-tools-2.6.35-28:  linux-tools-2.6.35-28 depends on binutils (<< 2.20.51.20100909); however:   Version of binutils on system is 2.21.0.20110327-2ubuntu2. dpkg: error processing linux-tools-2.6.35-28 (--install):  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing:  linux-tools-2.6.35-28 This is because perf is dynamically linked to libbfd, and only one version of libbfd (in the binutils package) can be installed at a time.
