GTK+ 3 debug symbols package in Debian Stretch?

[Vadim Zeitlin]

Hi,

Would anybody here know by chance what happened with the libgtk-3-0-dbg
package in Debian Stretch? It doesn't exist there any longer (unlike under
Jessie, see https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libgtk-3-0-dbg) and I can't
find any replacement. Needless to say, this makes debugging wxGTK3 rather
less convenient as I'd now have to build it myself to get the debug info
for it.

But perhaps I'm just missing something here? It seems really strange for
this package to just disappear like this, especially as libgtk2.0-0-dbg is
still there...

Thanks in advance for any hints!

It looks like they were replaced by automatically generated dbgsym packages, which are apparently in a separate repository:

Great, thanks! This was exactly it and after adding

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

to apt sources I could install libgtk-3-0-dbgsym and debug normally.

Thanks again!
