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.

Description David Kutálek 2011-04-13 15:25:32 UTC

Description of problem:

Since reporting to bugzilla without backtrace is unwanted and gdb is needed for local backtrace generation, abrt-plugin-bugzilla should require gdb.

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

abrt-plugin-bugzilla-1.1.16-3.el6

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. do a minimal install, without gdb, with abrt bugzilla plugin
2. sleep 10 &; kill -SIGKILL $!
3. abrt-cli -r
  
Actual results:

No backtrace generated, no warning issued.

Expected results:

Installation of abrt-plugin-bugzilla should pull in gdb & eg. abrt-cli should be able to generate backtrace using it.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Jiri Moskovcak 2011-04-18 12:19:40 UTC

There are many reasons why it shouldn't require gdb:

1. gdb is needed only for C/C++ crashes so it should be required by abrt-addon-ccpp - which is the case in Fedora

2. Python exceptions have usable backtrace without gdb (which is actually the same as 1)

3. On RHEL6 we don't generate backtrace on client machine, so that's why gdb is not required and even debuginfo downloading is disabled in config file.
