Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 467901
debuginfo-install requires the primary package to be installed
Last modified: 2014-01-21 18:06:45 EST
Description of problem: I cannot run debuginfo-install if I have PKG-A and PKG-B installed but PKG uninstalled. Surprisingly yum install PKG-debuginfo works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-utils-1.1.17-1.fc10.noarch yum-3.2.19-5.fc10.noarch How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install some packages. 2. rpm -qa 'samba*' 3. debuginfo-install samba BUT 4. yum -y install samba-debuginfo Actual results: 2. samba-client-3.2.4-0.22.fc10.x86_64 samba-common-3.2.4-0.22.fc10.x86_64 samba-winbind-3.2.4-0.22.fc10.x86_64 3.

That's by design, you can do: debuginfo-install 'samba*' ...or just use samba-client, both of which will get the samba-debuginfo package (and thus. bring in samba itself as a dep.)
Hmm, in such case it is a GDB Bug now. It suggests: Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install samba.x86_64 as it queries RPMTAG_SOURCERPM to assemble the list of debuginfo-install parameters shorter by unifying all required rpm subpackages debuginfos into a single parent package.
Committed to GDB Rawhide: * Mon Nov 3 2008 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> - 6.8-25 - Fix the debuginfo-install suggestions for missing base packages (BZ 467901), also update the rpm/yum code to no longer require _RPM_4_4_COMPAT.
