A problem related to debuginfo was found in the db4-4.7.25-16.el6 package. This issue might affect crash analysis done by Automatic Bug Reporting Tool and its retrace server, and also prevent proper debugging of crashes via GDB. Debuginfo files for some binaries are not present in the debuginfo package. This might be caused by: - binary being compiled without debugging information - debugging information being removed from the binary by a build script - rpmbuild failing to extract debugging information from a binary in a buildroot because of permissions (eg. suid binaries, binaries without executable flag set) List of binaries without corresponding debuginfo file: - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_load affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_printlog affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_dump185 affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_archive affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_recover affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_hotbackup affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/berkeley_db_svc affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_upgrade affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_codegen affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_stat affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_verify affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_checkpoint affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_deadlock affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 - affected binary: /usr/bin/db_dump affected package: db4-utils-4.7.25-16.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100755 This issue can be investigated by using eu-readelf tool from the elfutils package. Use `eu-readelf --notes /path/to/binary` to get build ID of a binary. Then check that the debuginfo package does not contain /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/<aa>/<bbbbbbbb>, where <aa> are the first two chars of the build ID, and <bbbbbbbb> is the rest of it. It should be a symlink pointing back to the binary. (This bug was detected and filed by a script.)
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time.

If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative.
Created attachment 748715 [details] Specfile edit forcing not to strip debuginfos during 'make install'
Oracle Makefile was stripping debuginfo from binaries during `make install`. Fixed by disabling the strip (by passing /bin/true as the strip command).
