Description Alexandra Petlanová Hájková 2023-03-23 10:26:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
gdb suggest to install a package from a broken path. This happens when a .debug file corresponding to the installed debug package is missing (was removed for example). gdb then tries to use build-id based symlink which is broken. 

Steps to Reproduce:
0. install glibc-debuginfo: dnf debuginfo-install glibc, and gdb-debuginfo
1. remove the corresponding .debug file: rm /usr/lib/debug/lib64/libc.so.6-2.35-22.fc36.x86_64.debug
2. gdb --args gdb /bin/ls -ex 'b write'


Actual results:
Missing separate debuginfo for /lib64/libc.so.6
Try: dnf --enablerepo='*debug*' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/82/../../../../../usr/lib/debug/lib64/libc.so.6-2.35-22.fc36.x86_64.debug
