Lack of g++-dbsym

not sure why. do these exist for g++-4.5 and g++-4.4?

g++-4.4-dbgsym_4.4.3-4ubuntu5 is last available version

The previous gcc build was more than a week ago, so the buildds cleaned up the ddebs already. I'll wait until the current version has finished building, and then investigate.

Ah, unlike I thought initially it's not a problem with the ddeb retrieval, but already with the build. While it works for other packages:

dh_strip -plibgfortran3 --dbg-package=libgfortran3-dbg
[...]
dh_strip debug symbol extraction: not adding gnu debuglinks since --dbg-package is given
dh_strip debug symbol extraction: packages to act on: libgfortran3

it does not work for g++-4.6:

dh_strip -pg++-4.6
[...]
dh_strip debug symbol extraction: packages to act on:
dh_strip debug symbol extraction: ignored packages:

(empty "to act on").

at least the cc1plus binary is found in the g++-4.6 package

Problem is in pkg-create-dbgsym version of dh_strip.

in_list() function uses egrep and treats package name as part of regular expression.

This bug was fixed in the package pkg-create-dbgsym - 0.49

---------------
pkg-create-dbgsym (0.49) oneiric; urgency=low

  * tests/cdbstest: Rename binary packages to cdbstest++*. This reproduces the
    failure of not building packages with '+' in the name for source packages
    which call dh_strip with -p.
  * dh_strip, in_list(): Use grep instead of egrep, to also work for packages
    with '+' in the name. (LP: #784029)
  * tests/run: Latest debhelper leaves behind debian/debhelper.log after
    cleaning in compat level 1. Remove this manually to avoid an unexpected
    before/after build diff.

Setting gcc task to "fix committed", as the next rebuild will have proper dbgsyms again.
