Package: libtcmalloc-minimal4-dbg Version: 2.2.1-0.2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
When trying to debug a coredump of a trivial program which uses tcmalloc, I noticed that most debug symbols appear to be missing from the dbg package. (Just a 'print tcmalloc' in gdb will result in something like 'cannot find symbol in current context'). Strangely, when rebuilding using "apt-src install google-perftools" and installing the resulting packages, it works. When looking at the filesizes of the debug files, they become about 3 times larger with the homebuilt packages. This is verified on a clean Debian 8 machine. On debian 7 (which comes with tcmalloc 2.0?) it also works fine. Thank you, Mark Dufour. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libtcmalloc-minimal4-dbg depends on: ii libtcmalloc-minimal4 2.2.1-0.2 libtcmalloc-minimal4-dbg recommends no packages. libtcmalloc-minimal4-dbg suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
