Sorry, you're completely wrong. The files installed in /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib are detached symbol files, that are loaded automatically by gdb -- *not* using LD_LIBRARY_PATH; and gdb looks for detached symbol files by prepending /usr/lib/debug to the full path of the original object file. So there's no debhelper bug here. If there are detached symbol files that aren't working, that bug must lie elsewhere. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
