Hello,

I am sorry that my previous comment was unclear and a bit misleading.

The kdump package in the PPA (kdump 1:1.5.9-4~lp1536904) fixes
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/makedumpfile/+bug/1536904 as
you said. This is now in the official archive so you should no longer be
using the PPA. Please confirm that you will be using the official
archive so I can proceed to delete this PPA.

Now the kexec-tools fixes have been uploaded to a different PPA : ppa
:louis-bouchard/kexec-tools-test

Please verify that the new package do indeed fixes your issue. If this
is the case, I will see that it gets uploaded to the archive.

Kind regards,

...Louis
