Hello and thanks for your reply. If this is indeed the current accepted way of providing debug symbols, that's ok but:
1) Do I understand that gdb as packaged with Debian and derivatives is capable of automatically accessing these files when required? 2) For those who want to examine these symbols using tools like nm, what is the solution? 3) The bug report says: <quote>- If people complained that filenames in -dbg packages are not transparent enough, a script that would print mapping between binaries and their .debug counterparts could be easily written, to be included in devscripts.</quote> Does such a script exist as of now? If not, could it please be provided as you mention above? Thanks! -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
