Also, many bugs and improvements are added to crash as newer kernels are released. * This LP's goal is to bump the version of crash tool in both Bionic and Eoan in order to match Focal version (7.2.8). With that we can address the Bionic issue when opening kernel 5.3 dumps and gather more fixes with the updated package. [Test Case] * The test performed is basically collect dumps with kdump-tools and open in crash. In this particular case, the tests were with kernels 4.15.0-88 and 5.3.0-26 (in Bionic) and kernel 5.3.0-23 (in Eoan) using the crash tool built with the hereby attached source. [Regression Potential] * Crash tool aims to have full retro-compatibility with kernel, so the likelihood for regressions are low. If regressions are found, it's likely the same regression applies to all crash/kernel pair versions, so by having the package synced between releases we increase the exposure to gather more bug reports and fix things in a more straightforward fashion. NOTICE: This bump was agreed with Ubuntu kdump-tools/crash maintainer, Thadeu Cascardo.
