 1. Now you make get a backtrace: DebuggingProgramCrash/Backtrace.  1. Now you make get a backtrace: ["DebuggingProgramCrash/Backtrace"].

  1. Check if the package has a debugging version available. In general, debugging packages will be named with a -dbg suffix

  2. If not, you can generally* build one this way:

    1. Install the development scripts: 

      sudo apt-get install devscripts

    2. Install the build-time dependencies for the package: 

      sudo apt-get build-dep <package>

    3. Build .debs for debugging: 

      export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt"
sudo apt-get source -b <package>

    4. Install the needed .debs (they will be in the current working directory if the build succeeded): 

      sudo debi <package*.changes>
  3. Now you make get a backtrace: ["DebuggingProgramCrash/Backtrace"].

* most of the packages support the build of debugging version in this way. If that doesn't work for a package you can open a bug against it.
