Description of problem: I am running a Fedora 13 alpha build. I have triggered a crash in an application that I wish to report via abrt. Unfortunately, it is running at an extremely slow speed, taking well over an hour to dowload 14 debug packages, (in contrast to Yum, which pulls down large updates in moments.) Even after all of the debugging information is downloaded and unpacked, it took another 20-30 minutes for abrt to process it and reach the stage where it was ready to provide a backtrace to report. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt 1.0.8 (Fedora 13 alpha) How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Generate a crash. 2. Choose to report it with abrt. Actual results: Extremely slow to download debug packages and then to generate a backtrace. Expected results: Download speed should be comparable to Yum. (Note I am in the same building as the Brisbane repo mirror, so Yum is normally extremely fast for me.) Additional info:
Please restart abrtd in foreground in verbose mode so that you can see and save entire log: killall abrtd abrtd -dvvv 2>&1 | tee LOG then run abrt-gui -v Then [Report] a crash, and press [Refresh] in report dialog. When you see "Getting list of build IDs", llok into abrtd's log. You will see something like abrt-debuginfo-install /var/cache/abrt/ccpp-1269022646-17021/coredump /var/run/abrt/tmp-4443-1269435340 /var/cache/abrt-di Copy and save this command, then cancel and close abrt-gui (we don't need it anymore). You can rerun the command by hand to debug the problem. Example: # abrt-debuginfo-install /var/cache/abrt/ccpp-1269022646-17021/coredump /var/run/abrt/tmp-4443-1269435340 /var/cache/abrt-di Getting list of build IDs 4 missing debuginfos, getting package list from cache 4 missing debuginfos, getting package list from repositories MISSING:0b854fd13cf401c6f9ad85625d81dcf694a0c10a MISSING:3b5ce96aac4bb0936b652bff73050db44d60045a MISSING:c0c63a08fa125acd0af55898673fc142332e7018 MISSING:f3b18818e0c33321a8152c9d853ee84ff00bc85d 4 debuginfos can't be found /usr/bin/abrt-debuginfo-install is a shell script.

Also please indicate after which lines exactly you see large delays.
Thanks for the detailed instructions. I'll do some research.
Hi, what was the crashed application? The coredump processing and creating the backtrace might take really long if it was some big app (e.g. generating ooffice backtrace can take even few hours ...). The abrt-debuginfo-install uses yum and yumdownloader to download the packages, so if the download is slow it's probably some problem with yumdownloader. J.
Hello Jiri, Yes, I was doing some research into it last night. It was an Empathy crash and I have discovered that it was trying to pull down the webkit-gtk library which is 80 mb. Maybe it was just a case of yumdownloader being unable to contact the Brisbane server and moving to another repo mirror. I do have yum-plugin-fastestmirror installed. I presume when abrt calls yumdownloader it knows to use that... Once the debug libraries were downloaded, it still took an awfully long time, over many minutes, for the backtrace.
I have also found, on running through the log that it was trying to process abrtd: Executable '' doesn't belong to any package abrtd: Corrupted or bad crash /var/cache/abrt/ccpp-1265510829-22289 (res:4), deleting over and over. So perhaps it was a combination of that and the large size of the packages involved?
