Why don't you read description in libc6-dbg ? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> dpkg -s libc6-dbg Package: libc6-dbg (snip) Description: GNU C Library: Libraries with debugging symbols Contains unstripped shared libraries. This package is provided primarily to provide a backtrace with names in a debugger, this makes it somewhat easier to interpret core dumps. The libraries are installed in /usr/lib/debug and can be used by placing that directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Most people will not need this package. I think it's enough information. If you think it's insufficient, please propose the proper documents. If not, I'll close this bug. Regards, -- gotom
