Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

Summary

The linux-tools package is no longer available in the VyOS repository. This is an unexpected and unpleasant change, as the package is essential for proper kernel debugging.

Expected Behavior

The linux-tools package should be present in the repository to allow users to perform kernel-related debugging and performance analysis.

Observed Behavior

The package is missing from the repository, making it impossible to use tools like perf and other debugging utilities.

Impact

  • Kernel debugging is significantly hindered.
  • Performance analysis and tracing tools provided by linux-tools are unavailable.

Suggested Fix

Reintroduce the linux-tools package to the repository.
