> Can you give a real-life example please? The libxerces1 package where this files exists: /usr/lib/libxerces1.so.1.7 -> libxerces1.so.1.7.0 /usr/lib/libxerces1.so.1.7.0 (SONAME libxerces1.so.1.7) GDB try to load /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libxerces1.so.1.7 as specified by SONAME. The symlink is required to get the /usr/lib/debug variant of file to get loaded. The fallback is to /usr/lib/libxerces1.so.1.7 which does not contain the symbolic information. -- Raphael Bossek
