Name        : elfutils
Product     : Fedora 14
Version     : 0.150
Release     : 2.fc14
URL         : https://fedorahosted.org/elfutils/
Summary     : A collection of utilities and DSOs to handle compiled objects
Description :
Elfutils is a collection of utilities, including ld (a linker),
nm (for listing symbols from object files), size (for listing the
section sizes of an object or archive file), strip (for discarding
symbols), readelf (to see the raw ELF file structures), and elflint
(to check for well-formed ELF files).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update fixes a regression introduced by the previous update (elfutils-0.150-1.fc14).  That update introduced a new crash due to an assertion failure when using the dwfl_module_relocations function.  This problem affected using systemtap on any non-PIE executable for which the debuginfo is not installed.
