Bug#489252: libc6-dbg: doesn't contain debug symbols for /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

[Paul Wise-3]

Package: libc6-dbg
Version: 2.7-12
Severity: wishlist

libc6-dbg doesn't contain debug symbols for /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 and
other stuff from libc6-i686. It does contain some of the debug symbols
though, but not all of them and unfortunately not the i686 libc ones.

$ dpkg -L libc6-dbg | grep cmov | wc -l
24
$ dpkg -L libc6-i686 | grep cmov | wc -l
44

It would be nice if all the symbols were included (or split into a
libc6-i686-dbg).

-- System Information:
Debian Release: lenny/sid

Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)

It does, see /usr/lib/debug/lib/i686/cmov/libc-2.7.so

The differences are the symlinks. Why do you need the symlinks for
debugging?

Any news on that?

Sorry, didn't receive your earlier email.

I guess this is a gdb issue then, since it doesn't seem to be able to
find symbols for libc.

Hmmm, it can't even find the libc.so.6 symbols when I purge libc6-i686
and copy /usr/lib/debug/lib/libc-2.7.so to /usr/lib/debug/lib/libc.so.6.
Same happens when I make a symlink to libc-2.7.so. Reinstalling
libc6-i686 and libc6-dbg doesn't seem to help either.

I guess I should reassign this to gdb?

I think that's a good idea.

Sorry, there's no concrete information in this bug report.  What
exactly happens that you believe is a bug?

I believe symbols for libc are deliberately not shipped, just enough
to backtrace.  So GDB is likely behaving as expected.

In that case, this bug (gdb shows no debug info for libc6/libc6-i386
with libc6-dbg installed) is wontfix. I guess it should be closed?
