Package: debian-goodies Version: 0.87 Currently find-dbgsym-packages returns a list of -dbgsym packages, but those do not include versions constraint, so if that list is installed it may result in updates being installed (including of dependencies) which will likely not be of any use to decode cores generated from the previous installed version.
Consider something like: $ app-dbgsym libfoo1-dbgsym /var/crash/1000/app.core app-dbgsym libfoo1-dbgsym $ apt install app-dbgsym libfoo1-dbgsym The following NEW packages will be installed: app-dbgsym libfoo1-dbgsym The following packages will be upgraded: app libfoo1 $ apt-cache policy app app-dbgsym libfoo1 libfoo1-dbgsym app: Installed: 1.0.1-1 Candidate: 1.0.3-1 app-dbgsym: Installed: 1.0.1-1 Candidate: 1.0.3-1 libfoo1 Installed: 1.2.3-1 Candidate: 1.2.9-2 libfoo1-dbgsym Installed: 1.2.3-1 Candidate: 1.2.9-2 To be able to decode a corefile it would be preferable that packages were not upgraded, so it would be useful if the output of find-dbgsym-packages included the current version information. Something like: $ app-dbgsym libfoo1-dbgsym /var/crash/1000/app.core app-dbgsym=1.0.1-1 libfoo1-dbgsym=1.2.3-1
