Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: erlang

To use the dialyzer, I need to install the debug info of erlang package.

As there is no package suffixed -dbgsym or -dbg about the erlang ( 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash#Hardy%208.04%20and%20Newer ), 
and no package for lucid in PPA ( 
https://edge.launchpad.net/~erlang-dev/+archive/ppa ) ,
I followed the instructions in page:( 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash#Prior%20Ubuntu%20versions ), but 
got the error message:

The script used and command are as following:

----QUOTE END----

It looks like that the erlexec was using the beam.smp which not exists
in the debug package but the beam.debug.smp.

----QUOTE BEGIN----

su...@coolrat:~/commands/erlang.dbg$ ls

beam.debug.smp     dyn_erl   erlexec  inet_gethost  typer

----QUOTE END----

The debug tag is due to the setting in Makefile.in, and I guess there is
a related variable is not set in eunit. Does anyone know what it is?
TIA.
