RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: yum-utils-1.1.30-19.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, debuginfo-install considered only certain naming scheme of debuginfo repositories, which Certificate-based Red Hat Network content delivery network (CDN) did not follow. As a consequence, the debuginfo-install utility did not work with the debuginfo repositories created in CDN. With this update, support for the new naming scheme of debuginfo repositories has been added, and debuginfo-install now works with debuginfo CDN repositories as intended.

Description Anthony Symons 2011-02-09 02:32:51 UTC 
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

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 02:11:08 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 Phil Knirsch 2011-07-19 18:44:24 UTC 
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
Comment 4 Frank Ch. Eigler 2012-08-15 21:04:42 UTC 
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.
Comment 5 Mark Wielaard 2012-08-16 10:52:42 UTC 
This is also an issue for other components, like systemtap, that advise users to use debuginfo-install to get better introspection into their system.
Comment 7 Jiri Moskovcak 2013-03-15 14:34:33 UTC 
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

*** Bug 827001 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 9 James Antill 2013-04-12 20:05:20 UTC 
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.
Comment 17 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 01:10:47 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

request at this time.

propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
