Today we're introducing a dedicated repository for debug symbol packages, reachable at https://dbgsym.proxmox.com/.
Debug symbol packages (named
Effective immediately, these packages are served from this separate repository instead of being mixed into the regular ones, for the Debian 12 (Bookworm) and Debian 13 (Trixie) based releases (and newer) of Proxmox VE, Proxmox Backup Server, Proxmox Mail Gateway and Proxmox Datacenter Manager.
To enable it, add the repository for your product. For example, for Proxmox VE on Trixie, create

A few notes:
Debug symbol packages (named
<package>-dbgsym) contain the detached debug information for their matching binary package. They are not needed for normal operation, but let tools such as gdb, systemd-coredump or crash produce useful backtraces when analyzing a crash or hang.Effective immediately, these packages are served from this separate repository instead of being mixed into the regular ones, for the Debian 12 (Bookworm) and Debian 13 (Trixie) based releases (and newer) of Proxmox VE, Proxmox Backup Server, Proxmox Mail Gateway and Proxmox Datacenter Manager.

- If you previously installed debug packages from the standard repositories, add this repository to keep getting them.
- The debug symbol repository is publicly available for all of the above products; there is no test, no-subscription, or enterprise distinction. As debug symbols are inert, you can safely use them for production or test systems alike.
- Like our other repositories, the release files are signed with a GPG key stored on a Hardware Security Module (HSM), so package authenticity is verified independently of the transport.
- The archive resides on separate CDN nodes to reduce load on our main CDN pool, especially from mirrors not using an efficient, application-aware approach. We recommend using Proxmox Offline Mirror for APT repository mirroring.
