After installing the debug package, gdb $binary should reveal:

[jelle@t14s][~]%gdb /usr/bin/cryptsetup
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/cryptsetup...
Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/cryptsetup.debug...

I've noticed that some packages say such thing but followed right after with:

The above is wrong - it doesn't work, so just make sure the gdb prompt is right after the reading symbols line like:

OpenPGP_0x59E43E106B247368.asc
Description: OpenPGP public key

OpenPGP_signature
