I would try to obtain a backtrace, if someone could gently help me how to perform the action indicated in this statement:

"First, check if there is a package with a -dbg suffix in the main Ubuntu repositories (TODO: Please edit this wiki here to describe how to do this). These are the debug symbol packages, and are equivalent to '-dbgsym' described below. You can safely use either one, but not both at once."

I've seen that in my repository 10.4 beta there is a package called "pkg-create-dbgsym" and described as "automatically build debug symbol ddeb packages". Is this connected to what you require for backtracking?
