A problem related to debuginfo was found in the libplist-1.2-1.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. A debuginfo file for a binary is 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) affected binary: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/plist/_plist.so affected package: libplist-python-1.2-1.el6.i686 binary contains debug sections (debuginfo script failed to find/strip it) affected binary file mode: 100644 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.)
