Description of problem: dnf is often not installing the correct debuginfo: neither the one explicitly requested, nor the one matching the binary that's installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-2.7.5-8.fc28.noarch How reproducible: Often, maybe always, not sure. Clean installed Fedora 28 workstation using netinstall, so it has the latest Firefox 59. But when I go to install the same version debuginfo, dnf returns the ones for version 58. Inexplicably. Missing separate debuginfos, use: dnf debuginfo-install firefox-59.0.1-1.fc28.x86_64 (gdb) quit [root@localhost ~]# dnf debuginfo-install firefox-59.0.1-1.fc28.x86_64 enabling updates-testing-debuginfo repository enabling updates-debuginfo repository enabling fedora-debuginfo repository Fedora 28 - x86_64 - Test Updates Debug 2.0 kB/s | 257 B 00:00 Fedora 28 - x86_64 - Updates - Debug 2.0 kB/s | 257 B 00:00 Fedora 28 - x86_64 - Debug 1.2 MB/s | 28 MB 00:22 Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:00 ago on Sat 24 Mar 2018 02:09:05 AM MDT.

More examples of stale. I copy paste the command from gdb, and dnf says those are already installed which is wrong.

I think debuginfo-install should fail by default when the command includes specific versions, and what will be downloaded isn't that version. Maybe there's something wrong with the repo but some of what dnf has installed is a month older than what's requested.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
