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

Observed Behavior

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

Impact

  • Performance analysis and tracing tools provided by linux-tools are unavailable.

Suggested Fix

Reintroduce the linux-tools package to the repository.
