Package: binutils-common
Version: 2.38.90.20220713-2
Severity: minor
I see post-stable versions of binutils include a new set of
executables: gprofng, gp-archive, and so on. I can deduce a few
things about them from their names, and a good bit more from the
output of "gpprofng --help", which tells me to read the man and info
pages. The info pages are in binutils-doc, but the manuals are
missing - the copies included in binutils-common are empty files
(bulked out to 20 bytes long by gzip).
Looking at the old .debs I've got lying around in
/var/cache/apt/archives/, this was also true in version
2.38.50.20220707-1, the first with gprofng.
