[Bug 1072257] [NEW] KDE Crash Handler error message doesn't reflect the problem

Sun Oct 28 02:36:40 UTC 2012

Public bug reported:

I have been trying to report a different bug related to plasma-desktop crashing at start-up. When I try to submit the crash information I get an error message from apport: "The packages containing debug information for the following application and libraries are missing: /usr/bin/plasma-desktop"
However I have already installed the debug symbols including kde-workspace-dbg which contains "/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/plasma-desktop"

So there is something wrong here because the error message doesn't
reflect the fact that the debugging symbols are there already for
plasma-desktop.

>From looking at the stack trace it looks like the problem is that there
are more underlying libraries for which I need to install debugging
libraries. It would be helpful if apport could follow the stack trace to
the missing libraries instead of telling me to install debugging symbols
I already have.

Here is the stack trace it was trying to parse:

Application: Plasma Desktop Shell (plasma-desktop), signal: Segmentation fault
