Description Stan Cox 2008-03-19 21:49:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
A chroot does not find the <file>.debug
for elfutils 0.133 whereas for elfutils 0.129 it would find <file>.debug.
I notice dwfl_module_getdwarf.c:load_symtab now notices when .dynsym is found
and subsequently causes DWFL_E_NO_SYMTAB to no longer be returned
to find_symtab and thus find_debuginfo never gets called.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.133

How reproducible:

I'm working on a reproducer testcase.

Comment 10 Roland McGrath 2010-04-22 00:15:49 UTC 
This bug got wrongly listed in Fedora updates and so wound up in ON_QA state outside of proper RHEL5 procedures.  Reopen if there is really a need for a RHEL5 update to address this.  It's long been fixed upstream and thus for RHEL6.
