How to Install Debug Symbols for libc on Ubuntu 22.04?


Before Ubuntu 20.04, I can install debug symbols for libc by installing the libc6-dbg package (which contains a long list of dynamic libraries compiled with debug symbols as shown in https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/amd64/libc6-dbg/filelist). However, on later Ubuntu distributions, the libc6-dbg package contains only some *.debug files, as shown in the two links below.

I also search the debug symbol packages archive (http://ddebs.ubuntu.com) and found nothing.

It seems to be a known issue but without much activity. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1918035)

Is there still a package that gives dynamic libraries with debug symbols for libc on Ubuntu 22.04? Do I have other ways to get the debug symbols besides compiling the libc myself?


Solution

  • For anyone interested in this question, debug symbols have been correctly packed but switch to the new build-id system as the latest update on the BUG tracker says: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1918035. So we need to find debug symbols using build-ids instead of filenames now.
