Several problems related to debuginfo were found in the vim-7.2.411-1.6.el6 package. These issues might affect crash analysis done by Automatic Bug Reporting Tool and its retrace server, and also prevent proper debugging of crashes via GDB. Debuginfo missing for binaries ------------------------------ Debuginfo files for some binaries are not present in the debuginfo package. This might be caused by: - binary being compiled without debugging information - debugging information being removed from the binary by a build script - rpmbuild failing to extract debugging information from a binary in a buildroot because of permissions (eg. suid binaries, binaries without executable flag set) List of binaries without corresponding debuginfo file: - affected binary: /bin/vi affected package: vim-minimal-7.2.411-1.6.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/xxd affected package: vim-common-7.2.411-1.6.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 This issue can be investigated by using eu-readelf tool from the elfutils package. Use `eu-readelf --notes /path/to/binary` to get build ID of a binary. Then check that the debuginfo package does not contain /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/<aa>/<bbbbbbbb>, where <aa> are the first two chars of the build ID, and <bbbbbbbb> is the rest of it. It should be a symlink pointing back to the binary. Source file missing in debuginfo package ---------------------------------------- Multiple source files that were used by the compiler to generate a binary are missing from the debuginfo package. This is usually caused by the build script creating temporary source files during the build and deleting them after usage, or by moving source files between directories. Missing source files in debuginfo packages make debugging of crashes more difficult. debuginfo package: vim-debuginfo-7.2.411-1.6.el6.i686 debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/gvim.debug missing source: /usr/src/debug/vim72/src/if_perl.c debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/vim.debug missing source: /usr/src/debug/vim72/src/if_perl.c Please consider changing the package build script (if that is the cause of this issue) to keep the source files on their compilation place, so rpmbuild can find them when generating debuginfo package. (This bug was detected and filed by a script.)
