Package: bind9-host Version: 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze3 Severity: normal Hi, Please include a README.Source to explain how to rebuild with debugging symbols. I was trying to get a build of /usr/bin/host which i could run in gdb to help with #648113 , but gave up after 3 tries and just put in the bug as is.
First try: - DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug dpkg-buildpackage -sa GDB reports: - warning: The current binary is a PIE (Position Independent Executable), which GDB does NOT currently support. Most debugger features will fail if used in this session. Reading symbols from /usr/bin/host...(no debugging symbols found)...done. Second try: - Remove build-dep on hardening-wrapper, purge hardening wrapper. - DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug dpkg-buildpackage -sa GDB reports: - Reading symbols from /usr/bin/host...(no debugging symbols found)...done. Third try: - export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug - DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug dpkg-buildpackage -sa GDB reports: - Reading symbols from /usr/bin/host...(no debugging symbols found)...done. (Yes, I installed my new packages each time). After these three tries I'm not sure what the remaining 'obvious' options are, so please provide some documentation on how to do this. thanks, kk -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bind9-host depends on: ii libbind9-60 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze3 BIND9 Shared Library used by BIND ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcap2 1:2.19-3 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libdns69 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze3 DNS Shared Library used by BIND ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libisc62 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze3 ISC Shared Library used by BIND ii libisccfg62 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze3 Config File Handling Library used ii liblwres60 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze3 Lightweight Resolver Library used ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4squeeze3 SSL shared libraries ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze1 GNOME XML library bind9-host recommends no packages. bind9-host suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
