Package: makedumpfile
Version: 1.5.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
When used on Debian running kernel 3.5 and later the makedumpfile --dump-dmesg 
/proc/vmcore /tmp/dmesg fails with the following error :

# makedumpfile --dump-dmesg /proc/vmcore /tmp/dmesg
dump_dmesg: Can't find some symbols for log_buf.

makedumpfile Failed.

This is caused by the change from byte-buffer structure to
variable-length record buffer of the kernel log buffer introduced by
this commit :

We forgot to add a Closes: tag in the changelog, but the patch for this
indeed went into version 1.5.1-1.
