Description of problem: There exists 'debuginfo-install' to conveniently install debuginfo on demand for some argument package. There doesnt seem to be (?) a corresponding command to conveniently remove the debuginfo on demand when disk space is tight or no longer need the package. (though if i remember there is an automatic periodic uninstall when accumulated debuginfo reaches 4GB ?) (at one point i think there was a 'clean the trash' button in the package manager gui but i dont see it anymore ?) There should be a 'debuginfo-remove' command to simplify the removal of debuginfo of a certain package (or all) on demand for whatever reason. It would basically go into '/var/cache/abrt-di' and remove the dustbunnies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install debuginfo for a package to triage a crash 2. package gets all fixed, ya 3. debuginfo still resides on system taking up space Actual results: dustbunnies accumulate. Expected results: should be easy way to sweep the dustbunnies.
