Re: Debug files are given unreadable names

[Shriramana Sharma <samjnaa@gmail.com>]

Hello and thanks for your reply. If this is indeed the current
accepted way of providing debug symbols, that's ok but:

1) Do I understand that gdb as packaged with Debian and derivatives is
capable of automatically accessing these files when required?

2) For those who want to examine these symbols using tools like nm,
what is the solution?

3) The bug report says:

<quote>- If people complained that filenames in -dbg packages are not
transparent enough, a script that would print mapping between binaries
and their .debug counterparts could be easily written, to be included in
devscripts.</quote>

Does such a script exist as of now? If not, could it please be
provided as you mention above?

Thanks!
