Bug Description
Binary package hint: crash
Crash seems to depend on the program "strings" (in binutils package) to match vmcore dumps to vmlinux kernels. If you try to run crash without binutils installed, it will fail saying the vmlinux image and dump do not match (along with an error further up reporting that "strings" is not found).
Crash should have binutils package added to its deps.
