Thanks for the suggestion. However, on Ubuntu 26.04, bpftool is still a real standalone package, not a purely virtual one. For older Ubuntu releases, the current logic should be fine for gef's use case: if apt-get install bpftool works, that is enough. GEF only needs a working bpftool binary for decoding BTF data, not necessarily linux-tools-$(uname -r). Did you encounter any actual issue with the current installer? |

bpftoolis no longer a standalone apt package; it ships inlinux-tools-$(uname -r). That package is tied to the running kernel and is frequently unavailable insidecontainers (the host kernel's linux-tools may not exist in the image's repos),
