Comment 3 for bug 1557751

Hello,

The reason for this verification is that version 1.5.5 of makedumpfile was tested on kernels up to 4.1 and not later. Fixing that is not just to trivially change the entry in the file. It requires verification that makedumpfile will indeed work for newer kernels.

Since the upcoming release of Xenial will introduce a 4.4 kernel in trusty, it will also become apparent for 4.4 kernels.

I am going to verify if this version limit can be bumped up to 4.4 which will resolve your problem.
