NAME

pk-debuginfo-install - Debugging Packages Installer

SYNOPSIS

pk-debuginfo-install [--help] [--verbose] [--simulate] [--no-depends]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the pk-debuginfo-install command.

pk-debuginfo-install is the command line client for installing debuginfo packages.

WHY DO I NEED DEBUGINFO PACKAGES?

When a program crashes, it's often useful to send the developer a backtrace which contains symbol names and variable contents, rather than memory addresses. To make this possible, extra packages called debug packages can be installed.

OPTIONS

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.

--help

--noninteractive

--verbose

--simulate

--no-depends

--quiet
