This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: The utility program debuginfo-install processes and installs "debuginfo dependencies" of the corresponding non-debuginfo package. However, it is logically impossible for any *-debuginfo package to have actual dependencies! The debuginfo of the programs and shared libraries in a package depends only on the package itself, and never on any dependencies of the package. Installing those extra "dependent" *-debuginfo packages may take a lot of time and resources. This is at least annoying, and often wasteful of time and space. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-utils-1.1.31-18.fc19.noarch How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. debuginfo-install pcre-8.32-7.fc19.x86_64 2. 3. Actual results: Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: gcc-debuginfo x86_64 4.8.2-7.fc19 updates-debuginfo 217 M glibc-debuginfo x86_64 2.17-20.fc19 updates-debuginfo 9.2 M pcre-debuginfo x86_64 8.32-7.fc19 fedora-debuginfo 1.0 M yum-plugin-auto-update-debug-info noarch 1.1.31-18.fc19 updates 22 k Installing for dependencies: gcc-base-debuginfo x86_64 4.8.2-7.fc19 updates-debuginfo 2.7 M glibc-debuginfo-common x86_64 2.17-20.fc19 updates-debuginfo 8.5 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 4 Packages (+2 Dependent packages) Total download size: 238 M Installed size: 1.1 G {Notice the dependencies which account for about 99.5% of the size! Those dependencies are irrelevent and unnecessary for running gdb/addr2line/etc on the programs and shared libraries of the pcre package.} Expected results: Installing: pcre-debuginfo x86_64 8.32-7.fc19 fedora-debuginfo 1.0 M Total download size: 1 M Installed size: 4 M {Notice no dependencies!} Additional info:
