Description of problem: While testing mplayer within gdb noticed the above. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm -qf /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libungif.so.4.1.3.debug giflib-debuginfo-4.1.3-9.i386 How reproducible: yes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. debuginfo-install mplayer 2. gdb mplayer 3. r filename.mp3 Actual results: $ gdb mplayer GNU gdb Fedora (6.8-29.fc10) ... (no debugging symbols found) (gdb) r 032.george.a.m4a Starting program: /usr/bin/mplayer 032.george.a.m4a [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] -- warning: "/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libungif.so.4.1.3.debug": The separate debug info file has no debug info -- [New Thread 0xb8065700 (LWP 15016)] ... Expected results: debuginfo to be available for ungif. Additional info: I have no idea whether gdb is mistaken although the .debug file is small in comparison: $ ls -l /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/lib*gif* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 65432 2008-02-20 23:24 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgif.so.4.1.3.debug lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-12-11 06:53 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgif.so.4.debug -> libgif.so.4.1.3.debug lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-12-11 06:53 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgif.so.debug -> libgif.so.4.1.3.debug -- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2844 2008-02-20 23:24 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libungif.so.4.1.3.debug -- lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2008-12-11 06:53 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libungif.so.4.debug -> libungif.so.4.1.3.debug lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2008-12-11 06:53 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libungif.so.debug -> libungif.so.4.1.3.debug
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
David, thanks for your report. The overall problem is, that mplayer links against an obsolete library (libungif) which is only held for compatibility reasons rather the correct one (libgif). As mplayer is not part of Fedora, please advise the third party repository where you're using mplayer from to add a patch, that mplayer only links against libgif in the future. Thanks.
