Title:
crash version is outdated. Needs to import Debian version of the
package
Status in “crash” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “crash” source package in Precise:
Fix Committed
Status in “crash” source package in Quantal:
Fix Committed
Status in “crash” source package in Raring:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Sid's version of crash is at 6.0.6 and upstream is at 6.1.0. Ubuntu
version should at least follow Sid's version
SRU Justification (for Quantal and Precise):
Impact: With the current crash utility in Quantal (and Precise) it is
impossible to look at dumps from recent kernels (3.5+). So Quantal
cannot be used to examine dumps created in Quantal and with the
rolling backport kernels we will have the same problem in Precise
(12.04.2). Beside that it should be possible to use the latest LTS to
work on newer dumps (IMO). Another feature of this latest release is
the ability to work on dumps of PV guests produced by Xen.
Fix: Instead of trying to pick individual patches it is much simpler
to push the the 6.1.0 release back into older releases. It was
compiled and tested in Precise at least while working on bug reports
that involved dumps and required a recent version of crash.
Testcase:
- Load and examine a dump produced from a 3.5+ kernel
- Load and examine a dump of a PV Xen guest.
