Description Yann Salmon 2022-09-15 10:32:37 UTC 
SUMMARY
The Assistant that appears after a crash to report a bug requires you to have a stacktrace with debugging information, but upgrading the system to do so is complicated.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a part of Plasma crash.
2. Try to report a bug with the assistant that pops up.
3. Observe that it complains about the stacktrace not being helpful
4. Click on the link below
5. Be overwhelmed by the unclear technical steps required
6. Abandon reporting about the crash

OBSERVED RESULT
We get a list of files for which there is no debugging information and are told to install the debug version of the corresponding packages.


EXPECTED RESULT
The assistant should show which are the corresponding packages, and offer to install the required versions.

You'll want to talk to your distribution about that.
