# `elf-error`

The file appears to be in ELF format but readelf produced the indicated error when parsing it.

In case of a false positive, you may need to install `binutils-multiarch` so that ELF files from other architectures are handled correctly. It is also possible that the file is not actually in ELF format but was misidentified as such.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `apparently-corrupted-elf-binary`
