Mind you, the debug archive was created with less backwards compatibility (e.g. it does not have "Packages.gz") than the regular archive. As for the Contents files: Yes they are empty. I believe it was an artefact of the implementation. As the build-ids are present in the Packages file, there is little interest in fixing it for the debug archive. > [...] > > Also, does anyone know if someone is working on a FUSE client that > could be mounted on top of /usr/lib/debug/.build-id so that the > debuginfo files could be automatically made available as needed when > gdb tries to access them? > > ` - Ted > No, but if you find one, I would very much like to hear about it.
