Description of problem: When trying to test compile a project, ld segfaulted and core dumped. When trying to get a backtrace to report the bug, gdb told me "Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6.x86_64" When trying to run that command: [root@localhost apilib]# debuginfo-install binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6.x86_64 Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, rhnplugin enabling epel-debuginfo Reading repository metadata in from local files Could not find debuginfo for main pkg: binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package zlib-1.2.3-25.el6.x86_64 No debuginfo packages available to install Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-utils-1.1.26-11.el6.noarch How reproducible: just run " debuginfo-install binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6.x86_64" Steps to Reproduce: 1. run "debuginfo-install binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6.x86_64" 2. 3.

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
For RHEL-6 this was changed a bit that in order to install debuginfo packages you need to subscribe to the related channel in RHN: RHEL Server Debuginfo (v.6 for x86_64) A request to update the documentation to reflect this has been opened: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723322 Thanks & regards, Phil
This is IMO inadequate. If debuginfo-install can activate the -debuginfo channel, it should. If debuginfo-install can tell that the -debuginfo channel is not subscribed-to, but should be, then it should say so.
This is also an issue for other components, like systemtap, that advise users to use debuginfo-install to get better introspection into their system.
The problem is that the debuginfo repositories in rhel6 doesn't have "debuginfo" in their name, but only debug. This seems like a dupe of #617162 which has been closed as NOTABUG. Please either fix the tool or reassign this to someone who is responsible for naming the repositories: RHN repos available on my machine: rhel-ha-for-rhel-6-server-beta-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-rhev-agent-beta-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-cf-tools-1-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-optional-beta-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-supplementary-debuginfo rhel-6-server-sam-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-sam-beta-debug-rpms rhel-lb-for-rhel-6-server-beta-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-supplementary-beta-debuginfo rhel-rs-for-rhel-6-server-beta-debug-rpms rhel-lb-for-rhel-6-server-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-beta-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-optional-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-rhev-agent-debug-rpms rhel-6-server-cf-tools-1-beta-debug-rpms rhel-rs-for-rhel-6-server-debug-rpms rhel-ha-for-rhel-6-server-debug-rpms possible dupes #827001 #730249 #828871
*** Bug 827001 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've ACKd this, as we can put the same hack in that we did for the similar -src-rpms mess ... it won't be pretty, but at least it'll work at that point.
