It says:

...

age MISMATCH: Wireshark.pdb and Wireshark.exe
Using "ChkMatch.exe" to correct an "Age" property did not make a
difference either. in WinDbg, I finally got symbols after .setopt+0x40,
this worked with the plain pdb files.
The remaining question is, how did this mismatch ever happen? The issue
is also still present with win64-2.6.1rc0-76-g1486fd91. This seems
problematic:
- Wireshark.pdb was built in "compiled with MSBuild"
- The PDB is zipped with "built .PDB zip".
- In "prepared NSIS package", "qtui" is somehow rebuilt which also
causes Wireshark.pdb to be updated. see:
https://buildbot.wireshark.org/wireshark-2.6/builders/Windows%20Server%202016%20x64/builds/138/steps/compile_3/logs/stdio
Not sure if this is the intended behavior. Gerald, should "built .PDB
zip" be moved after these targets, before "verified signatures"?
