RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

fix attached to bug 618426

Description of problem:
The find-debuginfo.sh script makes hard links of .debug files to correspond to hard links between install binaries.  It can fail to create one of these .debug hard links if it's in a directory that didn't exist at that point in the script run.  How this happens depends on things like the order "find" lists files, so it can be hard to reproduce off hand.

The fix is simple.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-build-4.8.1-2.fc13.x86_64

fix attached to bug 618426 also applies to rpm-4.8.0-12.el6
This bit in the build of git-debuginfo-1.7.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm, which is missing the /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/git.debug hard link.

The .debug file is always still there by another name, and its .build-id symlink is always fine.  So there is very little impact to this bug.  But the fix is very simple and safe.

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Moving to 6.1 - even if simple and safe, too late/not critical for 6.0
