I am trying to build xserver-xorg-core download from ubuntu source 19.10, while installing using dpkg,Xorg is not updated. Any pointers?

Asked by Kishore Kadiyala

Followed below steps :
apt-get source xserver-xorg-core
build : DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='nostrip noopt debug' dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc -us
install : dpkg -i --force-overwrite *.deb

This updated : /usr/lib/xorg/modules but not /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg
I am looking for enable debug symbols for gdb for debugging Xorg

Why don't you use the package xserver-xorg-core-dbgsym that is available in the repository?
see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages
