A problem related to debuginfo was found in the fakeroot-1.12.2-22.2.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/lib/libfakeroot/libfakeroot-tcp.so affected package: fakeroot-libs-1.12.2-22.2.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) affected binary file mode: 100644 - affected binary: /usr/lib/libfakeroot/libfakeroot-sysv.so affected package: fakeroot-libs-1.12.2-22.2.el6.i686 binary doesn't contain debug sections (it was probably stripped) 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.)
Seems a bit close to 6.2, so I'm going to ask for 6.3 on this one.
This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
I'm closing this. We originally wanted fakeroot and fakechroot in RHEL to support the old febootstrap (2.x) code, which we no longer use. RPM also uses fakeroot, or rather, a very obscure tool supplied by RPM uses it. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840779#c4 Also some font tool called 'ttf2pt1'.
