[Bug 1368003] Re: perf trace not compiled in

 

libaudit-dev is a universe package in Precise (12.04). The kernel (being
in main) cannot be dependent on a universe package for security policy
reasons. libaudit-dev was not promoted to main until Trusty (14.04)

** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Fix Released

Title:
  perf trace not compiled in

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” source package in Precise:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Running 'perf trace'   with perf from linux-lts-trusty-tools-3.13.0-35
  returns the following error:

      perf: 'trace' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'.

  This is probably due to the fact that libaudit-dev was not available at compile time.
  Is it an oversight or was it left out intentionally ?

  Adding 'libaudit-dev'  to Build-Depends, installing it and rebuilding
  the package makes the 'perf trace' command work.
