Hello How should be used pakages containing debugging symbols/informations, like openoffice.org-dbg When I try to run /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin bash show an unexpected error message "cannot execute binary file".
ls -l /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 275929 2007-03-30 16:24 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin has a+x permission :~$ /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin bash: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin: cannot execute binary file What is necessary to run or debug /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin (or other similar executables from *dbg packages) gdb /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin GNU gdb 6.6-debian ............
