From d70a5402f9c2e2671b809363616b3508b4c5a565 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:28:25 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Improve message about missing symtabs for deleted DSOs Instead of: no symbols found in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttypefindfunctions.so (deleted), maybe install a debug package? no symbols found in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudioconvert.so (deleted), maybe install a debug package? We now emit: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttypefindfunctions.so was updated, restart the long running apps that use it! /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudioconvert.so was updated, restart the long running apps that use it! Which is far less misleading about what the cause of the symbol mismatch is.
