Package: libboost-dbg Version: 1.34.1-11 Severity: important Hey Debian Boost Team,
The libboost-dbg package doesn't have any debug symbols for most of the libraries that are shipping with libboost-*. It does have the "debug versions" which are quite different to symbols (they include extra asserts and such). This makes it very hard to debug boost programs. I've included a patch which enabled debug-symbols and then strips them into the libboost-dbg package. The same procedure will probably work for boost 1.35 and 1.36. Hope this helps, Tim 'Mithro' Ansell
