valgrind (1:3.7.0-5) unstable; urgency=low Valgrind symbols have been stripped since version 1:3.6.1-5 because they take a lot of disk space (cf. #475562). This is not supported by upstream, who recommends to not do so because it may cause problems (e.g. unhelpful error messages). From now on, the stripped symbols will be provided in the valgrind-dbg package, which is a compromise of both "use cases" (who wants to avoid problems installs the -dbg package, who wants to save disk space doesn't). -- Alessandro Ghedini <ghedo@debian.org> Wed, 16 May 2012 21:33:18 +0200 valgrind (1:3.6.1-5) unstable; urgency=low Starting with this version /usr/lib/valgrind binaries are stripped which saves about 150Mb on amd64 for example. It's supposed to be unsupported according to valgrind packaging instructions[0]. Though preliminary tests tends to show the way Debian strips symbols works. If you encounter issues with valgrind reports becoming useless try to revert to some version before 1:3.6.1-4 (for example from [1]). And if that fixes it, this stripping is likely to be the cause.
