I tried to generate a debug package for vtk but the resulting package didn't contain the symbols needed for python.
115390 libvtk5-qt4-dev_5.8.0-6_amd64.deb 466178 libvtk5.8-qt4_5.8.0-6_amd64.deb 595994 vtk-examples_5.8.0-6_all.deb 2885736 libvtk5-dev_5.8.0-6_amd64.deb 4936550 libvtk-java_5.8.0-6_amd64.deb 5309768 tcl-vtk_5.8.0-6_amd64.deb 7248180 python-vtk_5.8.0-6_amd64.deb 14596068 libvtk5.8_5.8.0-6_amd64.deb 70294316 vtk-doc_5.8.0-6_all.deb 126506596 libvtk5.8-dbg_5.8.0-6_amd64.deb Anyway, given the huge size of the debug package it is probably better not to provide a debug package. Developer who need debug symbols should build their own custom vtk package. I will probably add a few instructions to the README. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
