Re: Firefox 51.0.1-1 on Debian Sid/experimental PowerPC (PPC32): Segmentation fault

[Christian Zigotzky <chzigotzky@xenosoft.de>]

Hi Herminio,

If you want to backtrace Firefox, then you need the debug version of 
Firefox. Please add the following repositories to your 
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ unstable-debug main
deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ experimental-debug main

You have to install the Firefox package with dbgsym attached:

apt-get install -t experimental firefox-dbgsym

Many thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Christian
