.`libdwarf` has been deprecated
The `libdwarf` library has been deprecated in RHEL 8. The library will likely not be supported in future major releases. Instead, use the `elfutils` and `libdw` libraries for applications that wish to process ELF/DWARF files.
Alternatives for the `libdwarf-tools` `dwarfdump` program are the `binutils` `readelf` program or the `elfutils` `eu-readelf` program, both used by passing the `--debug-dump` flag.

Hi Lucie, Modified now. Tagging Mark to check the new text. Mark, does the new text look good to you? Cheers! Hi Jacob, (In reply to Jacob Taylor Valdez from comment #3) > Mark, does the new text look good to you? The text looks good, but it contains two typos: libdrwarf -> libdwarf (2x) 'dwarf dump' is one word/program name 'dwarfdump' without a space. Thanks for the response! Fixed now. I'll refer this to one of our docs colleagues for a quick peer-review before setting RDT flag to + |
