Description David Timms 2008-12-13 10:28:01 UTC

Description of problem:
While testing mplayer within gdb noticed the above.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm -qf /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libungif.so.4.1.3.debug 
giflib-debuginfo-4.1.3-9.i386

How reproducible:
yes.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. debuginfo-install mplayer
2. gdb mplayer
3. r filename.mp3
  
Actual results:
$ gdb mplayer
GNU gdb Fedora (6.8-29.fc10)
...
(no debugging symbols found)
(gdb) r 032.george.a.m4a
Starting program: /usr/bin/mplayer 032.george.a.m4a
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
--
warning: "/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libungif.so.4.1.3.debug": The separate debug info file has no debug info
--
[New Thread 0xb8065700 (LWP 15016)]
...

Expected results:
debuginfo to be available for ungif.

Additional info: I have no idea whether gdb is mistaken although the .debug file is small in comparison:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/lib*gif*

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2009-05-09 21:21:10 UTC

David, thanks for your report. The overall problem is, that mplayer links
against an obsolete library (libungif) which is only held for compatibility 
reasons rather the correct one (libgif). As mplayer is not part of Fedora,
please advise the third party repository where you're using mplayer from to
add a patch, that mplayer only links against libgif in the future. Thanks.
