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.

       --help
           Show summary of options.

       --noninteractive
           Do not be interactive and skip the confirmation before the packages are installed.

       --verbose
           Show extra debugging information.

       --simulate
           Don't actually install any packages, only simulate what would be installed.

       --no-depends
           Do not scan for, or install dependencies of the core packages.

       --quiet
           Do not display information or progress to the terminal.
