missing debug symbols for hardy

[James Braid]

The repo http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/dists/ no longer lists hardy as a distribution.

I'm trying to debug some crashes on a server but without the debug symbols it's pretty hard.

Have the hardy debug symbols been removed on accident/purpose? Could we get them back please?

Thanks for submitting this bug. THat does look like a mistake to me - hardy on the server should still be supported, so I would think that we should still have ddebs.

However, become curious, I ran into https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash

which suggests that you should jsut be able to apt-get install <package>-dbg for any package. For instance, I just did

   apt-get install mutt-dbg

and got mutt's debug symbols. Does that get you what you need?

I tried that before submitting the bug (forgot to mention it!), but it looks like the -dbg packages only exist for a few packages:

# apt-cache search -- '-dbg$' | wc -l
572

and, the particular debug symbols I need are for postfix, which doesn't seem to exist:

# apt-get install postfix-dbg
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package postfix-dbg

I'm not sure on the difference between the dbg and dbgsym packages.

Any updates on this?

Any updates on this? Will it be fixed for hardy?

[James Braid (jamesbraid)]

Still no updates? What's holding this up? Why can't the debug packages just be copied back onto the mirror?
