Title:
kdump-tools passes wrong arguments to makedumpfile

Status in kdump-tools source package in Hirsute:
Fix Released
Status in kdump-tools package in Debian:

Bug description:
Commit 38fe0c8f41fd (Support compressing the dumpfile) [1]
changes the call to makedumpfile :
- makedumpfile $MAKEDUMP_ARGS $vmcore_file "$KDUMP_CORETEMP"
+ makedumpfile $MAKEDUMP_ARGS $vmcore_file | compress > "$KDUMP_CORETEMP"
This introduces a regression because makedumpfile is called with the wrong
arguments and as a result instead of creating a real dumpfile it creates
a file which contains an error message :
# cat /var/crash/202103181853/dump.202103181853
makedumpfile: version 1.6.8++ (released on 16 Nov 2020)
command line: makedumpfile -c -d 31 -D /proc/vmcore
Commandline parameter is invalid.
Try `makedumpfile --help' for more information.
makedumpfile Failed.
