Problem:

To run systemtap you need debuginfo, but it fails when installing linux image with :

apt-get source linux-image-4.4.0-53-generic-dbgsym
Reading package lists... Done
Picking 'linux' as source package instead of 'linux-image-4.4.0-53-generic-dbgsym'

And then fails to find 'linux'

Solution:

Solution is to uncomment 'deb-src' in /etc/apt/sources.list, run apt-update again, and then

sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r)
