            Bug ID: 386003
           Summary: Don't submit crash reports that lack debug symbols for
                    the crashing stack frame
           Product: drkonqi
           Version: 5.11.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: backtraceparsing
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: pointedstick at zoho.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Drkonqi is pretty good at analyzing backtraces to determine whether they're
useful or not. Yet still, we get crash reports with useless backtraces with no
symbols for the problematic stack frame, especially in Arch and Arch-based
distros.

These crash reports just aren't useful and add to the burden of screening bugs,
decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio. This contributes to actionable bugs
getting missed or neglected because bug screening resources are VERY
scarce--nobody particularly enjoys screening bugs, except for a few weirdos
like Christoph and me. :)

It would help if we could make drkonqi a bit pickier here, both to ease bug the
screening burden, and also to encourage users to install and distros to provide
debug packages.
