[edit] Debug Packages

Since the GMPC-Trunk Team's PPA is considered to be unstable prerelease packages, you may encounter bugs. In which case, you may be asked to submit a backtrace so that developers can figure out what's gone wrong.

In order to get a proper backtrace you'll need to install the proper debug packages:

sudo apt-get install gmpc-dbg libmpd1-dbg

If your bug is being caused by a plugin you'll need to install the debug package for gmpc-plugins:

sudo apt-get install gmpc-plugins-dbg
