@Richard: mostly because makedumpfile can be used in other contexts than from within the kdump realm. I've seen situation where it was used to reduce the size of an existing vmcore file.

I still have to discuss the issue with the Debian upstream maintainer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/785425 Title: 0_kdump uses dynamic makedumpfile(8) binary, which fails horribly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/785425/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
