Description Mark Wielaard 2017-07-31 09:57:20 UTC

Description of problem:

.gdb_index is missing from .debug files.

In older rpm releases .gdb_index was always generated and someone had to override  the find-debuginfo.sh invocation to disable them. Newer rpm have a macro that can be defined or undefined to generate them just like minidebuginfo in the main ELF file (.gnu_debugdata with %_include_minidebuginfo).

See also "Fix default setting of %_debugsource_packages and %_debuginfo_subpackages to not break testsuite" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476735 Which can probably be fixed at the same time.
