Bug 2321818

I see on a Fedora 41 system that is still on 0.191, elfutils-debuginfod-client-0.191-8.fc41.x86_64, that the if statement about certpath is missing. So it seems like it got added with 0.192.

I found the error message can be worked around with "sudo touch /etc/debuginfod/test.certpath".

ls -al /etc/debuginfod 
total 20
drwxr-xr-x    2 root root  4096 Oct 26 15:29 .
drwxr-xr-x. 157 root root 12288 Oct 25 11:28 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root root    38 Oct 21 17:00 elfutils.urls
-rw-r--r--    1 root root     0 Oct 26 15:29 test.certpath

So with the right configure option added, like for debuginfod-urls, the file will get created during the build. The packaging is already setup with a glob, so the elfutils.certpath file gets added to the elfutils-debuginfod-client package.

Here is the needed patch for the elfutils spec file.

I used the above patch against elfutils-0.192-4.fc40.src.rpm, and it fixed my issue.

If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on 2025-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '40'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 40 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

This was fixed in 0.192-5 also for f40 (latest is 0.192-9 also in f40).
