Subject: [bug#73495] [PATCH] gnu: dyninst: Remove patch-bad-logic phase.
Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2024 18:21:29 +0900

The short circuit logic (return failure to resolve library path
if ldconfig not found) is no longer present on Dyninst 13.

* gnu/packages/instrumentation.scm (dyninst):
  Remove patch-bad-logic phase.

Fixes: 254c8f2c8cbb ("gnu: dyninst: Update to 13.0.0.")
