I believe that following info from documentation can help you:
-------------
Configuration
-------------
``/etc/dnf/plugins/debuginfo-install.conf``
The minimal content of conf file should contain ``main`` sections with ``enabled`` and
``autoupdate`` parameter.
``autoupdate``
A boolean option which controls updates of debuginfo packages. If options is enabled
and there are debuginfo packages installed it automatically enables all configured
debuginfo repositories.
(Disabled by default.)

Unfortunately that's not really the problem here though. Autoupdate handles updating debuginfo packages when the rest of the system is updated, but if the user doesn't have this enabled then there is no way of manually updating the currently installed debuginfo packages, even if you run dnf debuginfo-install on said packages with out of date debug information. You have to go through, remove all of the debuginfo packages, then reinstall them. This seems like a bug since a lot of applications on fedora suggest dnf debuginfo-install when they can't find required debug information (such as gdb), coupled with the fact that there isn't actually any other way to update debuginfo packages other then changing your debuginfo config file and updating the whole system. What about work around: sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=*-debuginfo libinput-debuginfo or sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=*-debuginfo "*-debuginfo" gah-it appears I am having trouble reproducing this on any of my machines right now, I'm going to leave auto updating of debuginfo on them disabled and hopefully get back to you the next time I see this bug occur I improved a documentation for debuginfo-install https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core/pull/266. Hope that it solves your problem completely. The issue is solved by dnf-plugins-core-3.0.1-1 that was released into rawhide. |
