Public bug reported: libcurl3-dbg does not have any debug symbols in it. That's why the library files in it are so small.
$ ls -l /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libcurl* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43981 2011-07-15 06:16 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4.2.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45264 2011-07-15 06:16 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libcurl-nss.so.4.2.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48013 2011-07-15 06:16 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.2.0 The fix is in the patch attached, i.e. ./configure --enable-debug. I confirmed that it still uses -O2 when --enable-debug is given. I also disabled the test suite since it takes about 15 minutes to run for each of the 3 binary packages, 45 minutes in total. ** Affects: curl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855291 Title: libcurl3-dbg does not have any debug symbols in it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/+bug/855291/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
