Package: procps
Version: 2:4.0.2-3
Severity: normal
I am running a number of virtual systems under lxc via libvirt.
This means these systems share the host kernel (not like qemu where a
whole virtual machine is emulated).
I upgraded one to bookworm today, and when running 'ps faxu' or 'free'
I get an error: Unable to create meminfo structure
I downgraded procps to 2:3.3.17-5 (including libprocps8 2:3.3.17-5)
and then it worked again.
Working 'free' output:
# free
