Debug packages
--------------
Most distributions provide debug packages that contain among other things the
symbols corresponding to the precompiled package they provide.
Installing them will allow you to see the symbol (functions, variables, etc.)
names in situations like a backtrace.
**If you want to report an issue, we recommend installing these packages first
as these symbols allow us to know what is going on.**
Please refer to the corresponding documentation:
- Arch Linux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Debugging/Getting_traces
- Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace/
- Fedora: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/bugzilla-providing-a-stacktrace/
