The only change to the symbols in 2.26.1 is one dropped internal symbol
(_bfd_*) and the soname change itself.  It's appropriate to restore
binary compatibility by providing both -2.26.1- and -2.26- names on
disk.

I've uploaded this to yakkety as 2.26.1-1ubuntu2 and will do the same
for xenial-updates - we definitely don't want to do an soname transition
in SRU.

Title:
  libbfd changed name without transition

  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Status in binutils source package in Xenial:

Bug description:
  the latest binutils update in xenial to 2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04 changed the name of the libbfd library from: libbfd-2.26-system.so to libbfd-2.26.1-system.so
  This apparently happened without transitioning all dependencies.
  For example it broke the perf tool from the linux-tools-common package as it is still linked against the old libbfd name.

  To reproduce run "perf" with linux >= 4.4.0-24.43 and binutils
  2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04 and you get an cannot open libbfd-2.26-system.so
  error.
