Public bug reported: Binary package hint: strace
Maverick made a policy change so that attaching to processes is not allowed by default. That's fine. However, it's a bit strange that strace just exits 0 (with a message to stderr) when ptrace fails. The manpage says When using -p, the exit status of strace is zero unless there was an unexpected error in doing the tracing. and istm this is such a case.
