  Typing perf into a bash shell when it is not installed returns:

  chris at chris-ultralap:~$ perf
  The program 'perf' can be found in the following packages:
   * linux-tools-common
   * linux-base
  Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

  However, I have already installed linux-base at it's suggestion, and
  perf is not present:

  chris at chris-ultralap:~$ perf
  The program 'perf' can be found in the following packages:
   * linux-tools-common
   * linux-base
  Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

  No perf, it's in linux-tools-common (which will then tell you to
  install the kernel specific package).
