Very good. My sponsor will love to hear that no action is needed. This raises the next question: How do i make use of libburn-dbg ? (E.g. for testing whether it works.) I installed it on amd64 Sid and run $ gdb /usr/bin/cdrskin ... Reading symbols from /usr/bin/cdrskin...(no debugging symbols found)...done. (gdb) q There seems to be no other "cdrskin" binary installed: $ find /usr -name cdrskin /usr/share/doc/cdrskin /usr/bin/cdrskin (I would also advise to compile -O1 or -O0 before debugging. Just adding symbols to the -O2 library might not give much opportunity for insight.) > [...] As far as I remember this was done to handle multi-arch better (to avoid > having -dbg packages for different architectures install files to the > same location so that they can be co-installed). I already wondered when i riddled about multi-arch and -dbg. But at that time i always stared at the old package listing. Then i saw the strange files and made a strange theory, which made Jakub say "Um". (Thanks for that.) > There should be a recent thread on -devel@ Still coping with the evolutionary step from "User:" to "Uploader:", i think that i'm not yet ready for -devel@. Have a nice day :) Thomas
