Description-en: tools for reprocessing Apport crash reports
apport-retrace recombines an Apport crash report (either a file or a
Launchpad bug) and debug symbol packages (.ddebs) into fully symbolic
stack traces. This can optionally use a sandbox for installing debug symbol
packages and doing the processing, so that entire process of retracing crashes
can happen with normal user privileges without changing the system.
.
You need to install gdb-multiarch if you want to be able to retrace crash
reports which happened on a different architecture than the one you run
apport-retrace on.
