Package: libdw1 Version: 0.143-1 Severity: normal Currently libdw1 tries to append .debug to module name to find debug information. This fails with make-kpkg because debug info for kernel modules is installed under /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/VER/... without appending .debug extension. It would be good if libdw1 could check for files without .debug extension. Alternatively make-kpkg can be changed to append the extension, but it will be against "Best practices for debug packages" from Developers References (6.7.9), and other debug packages in Debian do not append this extension (it looks like it is Fedora's policy to add .debug).
According to strace, systemtap now looks for debug information for module snd.ko in the following locations: /lib/modules/2.6.32-rc6/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/8d/19f404d7db2242e69c87419b8fd32f67fca584.debug /lib/modules/2.6.32-rc6/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko.debug /lib/modules/2.6.32-rc6/kernel/sound/core/.debug/snd.ko.debug /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.32-rc6/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko.debug /lib/modules/2.6.32-rc6/kernel/sound/core/build/snd.ko.debug but it can be found here: /lib/modules/2.6.32-rc6/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-rc6 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=uk_UA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libdw1 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-3 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.10.1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libelf1 0.143-1 library to read and write ELF file ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime libdw1 recommends no packages. libdw1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
