kernel-dbg package is also installed.

+Subject: [PATCH] btf_encoder: Fix elf_functions cleanup on error
+
+When elf_functions__new() errors out and jumps to
+elf_functions__delete(), pahole segfaults on attempt to list_del() the
+elf_functions instance from a list, to which it was never added.
+
+Fix this by moving list_del() call out of elf_functions__delete().
+Remove from the list only on normal cleanup in
+elf_functions_list__clear().
