Basically, it appears that a package containing debug symbols for is missing

I found the following tool very useful to search for what package an expected file is in
* sudo aptitude install apt-file
* sudo apt-file update
* apt-file search glib-sharp.dll.mdb

This search produces no results, whereas the following shows packages that do provide mdb files
* apt-files search .mdb

Running apt-file search glib-sharp.dll returns 'libglib2.0-cil' as the package that provides mono with glib functionality so my question is:

*** Is there a debug version of the package glib-sharp.dll? ***
