Description of problem: If you try 'debuginfo-install kdebase', and you don't have kdebase installed, it won't find anything. This may be intentional (not sure what the usage case of this would be), but I figured I'd make sure. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-utils-1.1.13-2.fc9.noarch
it is intentional. here's the code we use to do the lookup: for pkgglob in self.cmds: e, m, u = self.rpmdb.matchPackageNames([pkgglob]) so we're only ever looking up for name matches against the rpmdb, not all packages. Do we want it otherwise? It feels a little odd to be installing debuginfo pkgs AND the software you want at the same time.
Not really. I forget why I even ran into this.
