You can use "yum install FILE(s)" to make yum find and install packages which contain those FILEs. This trick works for debuginfos too. Another problem is that we can't tell you the names of the packages because we don't know them. Otherwise (if we'd know the package names), we'd be able to install them, and there will be no "Missing debuginfo file" messages.

The reason for missing debuginfo files is the failed yum install FILE(s) so no, we can't improve it. It usually means, that you have installed something which is not in enabled repositories or is not packaged at all. And that's the reason why ABRT can't find the debuginfo. Denys's suggestion is mainly for debugging the issue, because if you're able to find the package running that command, then it means there is a bug in abrt. |
Created attachment 686663 [details] screen shot Description of problem: I had experienced Firefox crash and wanted to report it. Let alone the fact that ABRT requires me to run it as root in order to install packages it tells me it can't find 90 debug files. See screenshot. The issue is that ABRT gives me a list of the missing files but not the name of their packages or at least the name of the libraries/binaries. I have to manually search the provides for each debug file and install it by hand. Please improve this.
