RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Mark Wielaard 2023-02-01 16:49:39 UTC
The debugedit and find-debuginfo components were split off rpm and turned into their own upstream project and RHEL9 package debugedit. Although debugedit is part of RHEL9 now (AppStream debugedit-5.0-3.el9) rpm still ships and uses its own copies (see /usr/lib/rpm/macros %__debug_install_post).

Fedora has been changed to use %__find_debuginfo /usr/bin/find-debuginfo

It would be good if RHEL9 could do the same because bugs are being fixed in (upstream) debugedit and not in rpm for these components.

Comment 3 Mark Wielaard 2023-04-18 12:59:17 UTC
Note that bug #2177302 has been fixed now, but it is still depending on rpm-build actually using debugedit.

Comment 25 Tuomo Soini 2023-06-29 08:00:30 UTC
Change in rpm 4.16.1.3-24.el9 breaks build of gcc-toolset-13-gcc because location of find-debuginfo uses %%{_bindir} and doesn't expand that to /usr/bin. When scl package mangles _bindir to point to scl root it can't find the script in scl directory.

Simple fix would be to change the sed to:

-sed -i -e "s:%%{_rpmconfigdir}/find-debuginfo.sh:%%{_bindir}/find-debuginfo.sh:g" macros.in
+sed -i -e "s:%%{_rpmconfigdir}/find-debuginfo.sh:%{_bindir}/find-debuginfo.sh:g" macros.in

That is to hardcode the location of find-debuginfo.sh in macros.in so that change of %{_bindir} doesn't change location of script.
