[Digikam-devel] Bug#690186: digikam-dbg: No debugging info found in /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/digikam by gdb

[Ingo von Borstel]

Package: digikam-dbg
Version: 4:2.6.0-1+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Digikam crashes reproducably when trying to stich photos. Trying to produce a usable
bug-report made me try to get a backtrace as suggested
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I installed digikam-dbg as suggested and tried both kde's crash reporter to obtain
the backtrace as well as gdb by command line:
# file /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/digikam
/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/digikam: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.26, BuildID[sha1]=0x50fa90d44ca8dc854fba50f7eef6095a8979dca6, not stripped

Still, gdb doesn't find any symbols:
