[Bug 1702056] Re: perf broken on 4.11.0-9-generic (artful): /usr/lib/linux-tools/4.11.0-9-generic/perf: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.28-system.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Matthias Klose]

please use -proposed on your own risk. it's the area where packages
stabilize. The kernel should always build with the proposed pocket
enabled.

Bug description:
  I am unable to launch perf on 4.11.0-9-generic (artful) running on
  artful-proposed

  /usr/lib/linux-tools/4.11.0-9-generic/perf: error while loading shared
  libraries: libbfd-2.28-system.so: cannot open shared object file: No
  such file or directory

  It seems this library is provided by binutils, however the symlink
  doesn't exist like it does on my xenial system for comparison.

  lathiat at ubuntu:~$ dpkg -L binutils|grep bfd|grep so
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd-2.28.51-system.20170627.so

  lathiat at ubuntu:~$ ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/*libbfd*
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd-2.28.51-powerpc.20170627.so  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd-2.28.51-system.20170627.so

  On xenial:
  root at hyper:~# ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/*libbfd*
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd-2.26.1-system.so  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd.a
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd-2.26-system.so    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd.so

  
  Not clear to me where the bug lies here, so starting with the 'perf' binary by way of the kernel package.  But may be an issue with something else.  I did notice quickly running 'ldd' in /usr/bin that it seems other files are linking against the above so directly.
