+In order to [[debug|debugging]] translators and being able to step into glibc
+during it, on Debian you need the `hurd-dbg` and `libc0.3-dbg` packages installed.
+If you need to debug the initialization of the translator, start the translator
+like
+
+    $ settrans -P /foo /usr/bin/env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug /hurd/foofs
+
+The `-P` option will make it
+pause and you will be able to attach [[debugging/GDB]] to the process.
