Description Karel Klíč 2011-08-08 15:19:23 UTC 
A problem related to debuginfo was found in the ricci-0.16.2-35.el6 package. This issue might affect crash analysis done by Automatic Bug Reporting Tool and its retrace server, and also prevent proper debugging of crashes via GDB.

When a binary is compiled without gcc's -g option, no debugging information is generated and rpmbuild creates almost-empty debuginfo file, which cannot be used for debugging. Please fix the package build process to use $RPM_OPT_FLAGS, which include the -g option among others.

path: /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ccs_sync.debug
package: ricci-debuginfo-0.16.2-35.el6.i686

This issue can be investigated and tested by using eu-readelf tool from the elfutils package. Use `eu-readelf --section-headers /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/<debuginfofile>.debug` to see if debuginfo file contains .debug_info section. It is supposed to be there.

(This bug was detected and filed by a script.)

Too late for 6.2, bumping to 6.3.
Comment 5 Chris Feist 2012-02-08 00:54:24 UTC 
Before fix:
[root@ask-03 ~]# eu-readelf --section-headers /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ccs_sync.debug | grep info
[root@ask-03 ~]# 


After Fix:

[root@ask-03 ~]# eu-readelf --section-headers /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ccs_sync.debug | grep info
[29] .debug_info          PROGBITS     0000000000000000 00000696 00008b1d  0        0   0  1
