Same issue as reported against fedora 13 i686, for rhel 6 x86_64 the actual package versions is systemtap-1.2-2.el6.x86_64. stap-prep will suggest kernel-debuginfo-common-2.6.32-28.el6.x86_64 but should suggest/install kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64-2.6.32-28.el6.x86_64. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #596083 +++ Description of problem: Wrong kernel-debuginfo-common package suggested by stap-prep. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemtap-1.2-1.fc13.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run $ stap-prep 2. See it suggest kernel-debuginfo-common-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.i686 3. Don't find that package (it is missing the -i686 substring in the name) Actual results: kernel-debuginfo-common-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.i686 Expected results: kernel-debuginfo-common-i686-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.i686 Additional info: This is a minor issue, since the main kernel-debuginfo package does pull in the right -common package, but it is confusing since it looks like you won't be able to satisfy the requirements (and stap-prep keeps saying you are missing a package).
Upstream git bugfix: commit 928c149cfb5fef2dbdfc1c9d071e949dc67e8685 Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com> Date: Wed May 26 12:24:21 2010 +0200 rhbz #596083 Make stap-prep resolve kernel-debuginfo-common package name. The kernel-debuginfo-common package name is slightly different on different distros. But the correct name is always required by the kernel-debuginfo package. So don't add it to the CANDIDATES list, but let the yumdowloader --resolve it. Tested on f13, rhel5 and rhel6 beta. * stap-prep: Remove kernel-debuginfo-common from CANDIDATES, add --resolve to yumdownloader. diff --git a/stap-prep b/stap-prep index 3c6bf78..7f8099f 100755 --- a/stap-prep +++ b/stap-prep @@ -18,8 +18,7 @@ KERN_ARCH=`uname -m` KERN_REV=`echo $UNAME | sed s/.$KERN_ARCH//` # strip arch from uname CANDIDATES="$KERNEL-$KERN_REV.$KERN_ARCH \ $KERNEL-devel-$KERN_REV.$KERN_ARCH \ - $KERNEL-debuginfo-$KERN_REV.$KERN_ARCH \ - kernel-debuginfo-common-$KERN_REV.$KERN_ARCH" + $KERNEL-debuginfo-$KERN_REV.$KERN_ARCH" NEEDED=`rpm --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" \ -q $CANDIDATES | grep "is not installed" | awk '{print $2}'` if [ "$NEEDED" != "" ]; then @@ -30,7 +29,8 @@ if [ "$NEEDED" != "" ]; then echo "Need to first install yum-utils for yumdownloader" yum install -y yum-utils fi - yumdownloader --enablerepo="*debuginfo*" $NEEDED --destdir=$DIR + yumdownloader --enablerepo="*debuginfo*" $NEEDED --destdir=$DIR \ + --resolve check_error $?

An followup patch makes sure that also different variants (pea, debug, etc) are handled correctly on rhel6 kernels: commit 6f6a731f169d44e0a45d46224de34429cf3252ff Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com> Date: Tue Jun 1 11:37:59 2010 +0200 rhbz #596083 Account for dot and dotless kernel variant in stap-prep. uname -r can produce different kinds of output: 2.6.32-30.el6.x86_64 (no variant, but including ".arch") 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5debug ("variant", without dot, no arch) 2.6.33.4-95.fc13.i686.PAE (".arch.variant", two dots) We didn't handle the dot before the variant used in newer distros. * stap-prep: Remove either ".variant" or "variant" from the end of release uname string. diff --git a/stap-prep b/stap-prep index 7f8099f..2ee40ea 100755 --- a/stap-prep +++ b/stap-prep @@ -1,6 +1,10 @@ #! /bin/bash check_error() { if test $1 != 0; then echo $2; exit $1; fi } +# uname -r can produce different kinds of output: +# 2.6.32-30.el6.x86_64 (no variant, but including ".arch") +# 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5debug ("variant", without dot, no arch) +# 2.6.33.4-95.fc13.i686.PAE (".arch.variant", two dots) if [ "$#" -lt 1 ]; then UNAME=`uname -r` # determine the kernel running on the machine else @@ -9,7 +13,8 @@ fi UNAME=`echo $UNAME | sed "s/ //"` #strip out any whitespace KERNEL="kernel" for VARIANT in debug kdump PAE xen; do - TMP=`echo $UNAME | sed s/$VARIANT//` + # strip out ".variant" or else "variant" at end. + TMP=`echo $UNAME | sed s/\\\\.$VARIANT\$// | sed s/$VARIANT\$//` if [ "$TMP" != "$UNAME" ]; then UNAME=$TMP; KERNEL="kernel-$VARIANT" fi
So to solve this problem, the following two commits (mentioned in comment #2 and comment #2) need to be backported from upstream, or stap-prep will not work correctly against rhel6 kernels: commit 928c149cfb5fef2dbdfc1c9d071e949dc67e8685 commit 6f6a731f169d44e0a45d46224de34429cf3252ff Together they solve the "oops, kernel-debuginfo-common package was renamed" and the "oops, kernel variant now has a dash" issues.
