find-dbgsym-packages - gets list of dbgsym packages from executable, library, core dump or process

find-dbgsym-packages executable, core file or PID [executable, library, core file or PID X]

find-dbgsym-packages lists all *-dbgsym packages required to properly debug processes given by a list of executables, libraries, core dumps or PID numbers.

You must already have the correct debug lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, e.g.

    deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ unstable-debug main

Don't forget to run "apt-get update" as root after adding such a line.

Additionally, find-dbgsym-packages requires the elfutils and dctrl-tools packages to be installed.

    $ find-dbgsym-packages 15865
    libcap2-dbgsym libtinfo5-dbg zsh-dbgsym
