   An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed.

Description:


   This update for blktrace provides a fix for the following
   issue:

   If two instances of blktrace are executed on the same
   device, one would  fail to initialize and then tear down
   the devices it was configured to use,  even when they
   weren't set up by that instance.

   This could result in tearing down running traces, which
   would end up  leaving the debugfs files around without a
   way to clean them up. Further  instances of blktrace on
   that device would fail.
