debug-file-with-no-debug-symbols
The binary is installed as a detached "debug symbols" ELF file, but it does not appear to have debug information associated with it.
A common cause is not passing -g
to GCC when compiling.
Implementation detail: Lintian checks for the ".debug_line" and the ".debug_str" sections. If either of these are present, the binary is assumed to contain debug information.
Severity: | warning |
