Package: valgrind
Version: 1:3.5.0-2
Severity: important
Hi.
I recently updated my libc6 and after the update (which probably removed my
libc6-dbg due to some other problem), valgrind threw huge amounts of false
positives. I asked at the valgrind-users mailinglist and the problem is with
valgrind not knowing the right glibc version or assuming a wrong one. I don't
know the details, but valgrind has to know the version of it to be able to warn
the user about missing debug symbols.
This is not the case, if the debug symbols are there. And those are in the
libc6-dbg package.
Valgrind (memcheck at least) needs the debug symbols from libc6 to function
properly. If valgrind knows the libc version it can tell the user to install
them, but if not, it breaks. Setting the libc6-dbg package as a dependency will
resolve this problem. It needs them anyway.
For the original thread on the valgrind-users list see:

Greetings
Andre
