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.
