Bug#1057621: valgrind should not drop valgrind-dbg

Show all headers | View raw

Package: valgrind
Version: 1:3.20.0-1
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: Adam Borowski <kilobyte@angband.pl>

-dbgsym packages are not part of the normal archive,
and they can therefore not be expected to be pulled in
by normal dependencies.

For the usual case where debug symbols are only used
when debugging in a debugger this is no problem,
but valgrind-dbg is (like libc6-dbg) an exception:

Package: valgrind
Recommends: valgrind-dbg, gdb

https://sources.debian.org/src/valgrind/1%3A3.20.0-2/debian/README.Debian/#L11-L16

  Debian's valgrind package comes stripped of any debug symbols, which are
  provided by the valgrind-dbg package. Note that it's recommended to install
  such package because without those symbols valgrind may generate less
  helpful error messages in certain situations, or not work at all.
