6.3.0
Description
I was having issues with macos 6.3.0 debug symbols from online installer not being used when debugging an app in Creator.
After going through a rabbit hole, I realised what happened:
I had pre-release 6.3.0 libraries installed, I opened maintenance tool, i checked a checkbox to install debug symbols (weren't installed previously), the tool then installed the latest debug symbols for the latest 6.3.0 libraries it knows about (but not debug symbols for the pre-release libraries i had), so actual libraries were not updated -> debug symbols were not loaded, because of the mismatch.
Doing a clean install of libs+symbols into a separate dir ensures debugging works.
It sounds like debug info packages are not strictly tied to an exact lib package version.
Here was my components.xml for the 2 different installations.

The installer should either install debug symbols appropriate for the already installed libraries, or force an update of the libraries. Or some dialog telling you about the situation so you can decide yourself what to do.
