Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1322599
debuginfo-install installs needless packages
Last modified: 2017-07-07 19:08:01 EDT
Description of problem: dnf debuginfo-install installs more *-debuginfo packages than asked for. I have no idea why because rpm -q --requires even does not print anything for the *-debuginfo packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-plugins-core-0.1.19-1.fc24.noarch How reproducible: Tried once, probably always. Steps to Reproduce: dnf debuginfo-install plasma-workspace-5.5.5-7.fc24.x86_64 Actual results: Install 202 Packages Total download size: 1.0 G Installed size: 4.2 G Expected results: Install 1 Package Total download size: 31 M Installed size: 122 M Additional info: dnf debuginfo-install glibc-2.23.1-5.fc24.x86_64 bzip2-libs-1.0.6-20.fc24.x86_64 dbus-libs-1.11.2-1.fc24.x86_64

I do not know if it behaves differently in different version, I have tried just this F-24 dnf version.
Hi Jan, In general debuginfo-install plugins works like: 1. Get all packages which you want to install debuginfo (in your case - plasma-workspace) 2. Get all depepndecies (including dependencies of dependencies) 3. Install debuginfo for all of them. Probably we should introduce some flag which will install only what you requested. What do you think? Regarding output of rpm -q --reques it's more about RPM, not DNF. It just don't have dependencies between debuginfo packages (in fact those are just +- source code).

OK, yes, that looks as the best idea. GDB can then suggest the DNF command with such a flag.

(In reply to Igor Gnatenko from comment #3) > Is there any ideas how gdb is generating that list? Yes, it was written by me and it is still a Fedora/RHEL-only patch so far. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/gdb.git/tree/gdb-6.6-buildid-locate-rpm.patch Missing separate debuginfos, use: dnf debuginfo-install ... For each {main executable,shared library} absolute filename it does: rpm -qf THATNAME and for those dat do not have "stripsuffix(%{sourcerpm})-debuginfo.%{arch}" installed it appends: %{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}
(In reply to Jan Kratochvil from comment #4) > For each {main executable,shared library} absolute filename it does: Those shared libraries are iterated from those really loaded in the debuggee's memory.

The flag as suggested in comment 1 to only install what was requested would be very useful. For example, asking for the debuginfo for qemu-system-x86 gets 1.7GB download/7.5GB installed with dozens of packages, but when you're fighting a problem either in the core of qemu or in just one area 90% of that is wasted.

Just don't have time to work on it.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
Change of behavior of command 'debuginfo-install' to install requested packages. Because old solution installs a lot of useless packages. Gdb/whatsoever will tell you what to install. PR https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core/pull/221
