I’m trying to get useful gdb backtrace and I’d like to install (or get list of) all available -dbg packages for libraries that I have on my system.
Is there an easy way to do this?

I’m using this script:

I would try with something like that:
for i in `dpkg -l | grep ii | awk '{print $2}' | grep "^lib" | cut -d":" -f1` ; do apt-cache search $i dbg ; done
Thanks, but this script
misses many packages
too slow
produce output not suitable for copy-pasting to apt-get
There are many patterns that we should recognise in order to guess -dbg package name:
foo
libfoo
libfooN
libfoo-N
libfoo-bin
Also search pattern should not be too restrictive to avoid missing packages that provide symbols in “foo-dbg” for “libfoo” packages.
Perhaps there might be more accurate way to find -dbg packages using grep-dctrl…
