Details

Description:
Using the default configuration, stacktraces in /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ cannot be read by lz4 due to broken compression in systemd/liblz4:

Error 44 : Unrecognized header : file cannot be decoded

This can be rather annoying when encountering a hard to reproduce bug. Therefore compression should be disabled as a default in /etc/systemd/coredump.conf . ( Compress=no )

upstream bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83266

Steps to reproduce:
If compression wasn't manually disabled in /etc/systemd/coredump.conf , you will notice that the coredumps in /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ cannot be uncompressed/read.
This task depends upon

Nothing new. coredumpctl can still read the lz4 compression.
